Katy Beltran is a Latinx artist from Bogota, Colombia, based in Atlanta, GA since 2016. Her work is part of the City of Atlanta's permanent art collection and has been exhibited internationally across the United States, South America, and Europe.

Beltran earned an MFA in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design (Atlanta) and is a certified XR designer through the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 2015, she founded Museo Nueva Memoria (The New Memory Museum) in Colombia, a nonprofit using art and photography to honor the life narratives of at-risk communities. As a creative director, she has collaborated with organizations including Emory University, Black Voters Matter, and SisterLove, Inc., supporting initiatives that challenge systemic discrimination, advance gender justice, and address the impacts of the HIV epidemic. Her artistic language is grounded in women's rights, bodily autonomy, and collective memory, exploring intimate human dramas with a focused lens on the feminine body and the soul.
