Arizona Cardinals offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum and his wife, Jessica, are lending 10 paintings from their art collection to SMU’s Hamon Arts Library for an exhibit Feb. 18 – May 22. Each piece represents a unique visual narrative of the Black experience, according to a press release provided by Beachum’s alma mater Southern Methodist University.

“We are sharing these pieces from our collection to bring recognition to the artists,” Beachum says. “We believe that their brilliant work and shared insights will start a conversation and bring people together in a new way. We are excited to be stewards of their work as well as catalysts for promoting their perspectives and ideas.”

The four-year starter as offensive tackle for the Mustang football team and his bride began acquiring art in 2013, they report, as “a way to understand life through the lenses of visual artists.”

The more I read about this Kelvin Beachum and his wife, the more I am proud that he is a Mustang. From the house show he was on and helping his parents. To the way he lives his life. He is blessed and knows it, and as God would like, he shares his blessings and gives back by sharing others talent and purpose.
Peace Always

Oh man. Beach is such a good guy. Met him for like 15 minutes during his senior year. He was truly such a kind, humble young man. Been rooting for him since those days. No flash, just a guy who gets the job done. A great ambassador for SMU.
