Set + Drift advocates for artists and designers through events, exhibitions, and art placement. Working closely with a network of regional and international artists, we connect these artists with clients and develop specific programming to enhance each project's vision. Set + Drift provides creative and logistical support for every phase of a project, from concept to production. We have collaborated with partners in the design industry — including leading interior designers and architects, as well as cultural organizations such as Mingei International Museum, San Diego Design Week, and La Jolla Historical Society — to provide a platform for art and design in the Southern California region and beyond.

Stacy Kelley directs Set + Drift, drawing upon twenty years of experience working alongside artists and designers in the context of the interior design and architecture industry throughout Southern California and San Francisco. Set + Drift was founded in 2009 by designers Stacy and Sean Kelley, with the intent to exhibit the work of artists and designers through experiential, interdisciplinary formats. Through these events, developed in collaboration with an array of talents — from cultural organizations to chefs, designers, and musicians — Set + Drift exhibited the work of acclaimed regional and international artists and designers. Over the years, Set + Drift has been established as an advisory which develops art and event programming in collaboration with design leaders and cultural institutions, and has placed artwork by an extensive network of artists in commercial projects throughout Southern California and beyond.
Stacy Kelley worked alongside Mingei International Museum and a founding team to help establish San Diego Design Week and led as Program Director in 2020 and 2021. SDDW is now an annual event that is part of the international network of World Design Weeks, which include Design Weeks in over 40 cities around the world. She contributes as an advisor of Tijuana Design Week and served as Designer in Residence at UCSD Design Lab to develop strategies for regional community engagement around design in the San Diego-Tijuana region.
