Remembering Kay Kurz

Discover the life and legacy of local artist Kathe “Kay” Kurz (1922-2015) who immigrated to the U.S. after fleeing Nazi Germany as a Jewish teenager. Her sons Mark and Robb Kurz, along with Lynn Preston, Waukesha Public Library’s Public Art Committee Chair, will share pivotal moments in Kay’s life, trace the evolution of her artistic style, and reflect on her enduring impact on the community. Kay taught at Carroll University for over 25 years and two pieces of her artwork are featured in the Library’s permanent public art collection, along with a life-size depiction of Kay in the Library lobby.
