EXHIBITION STATEMENT: Marzeń/Integrated Art Group in Madison, WI is seeking artists for FROM HERE ON OUT, a juried exhibition to be held October 25th – March 1st at Marzeń (Integrated Art Group’s fine art showroom) and online at www.integratedartgroupllc.com. Marzeń stands in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter Movement in condemnation of the horrific and systemic acts of violence committed against Black Americans. As a gallery and art consulting firm, we recognize that artists of color have been and are currently underrepresented in both art institutions and commercial galleries. We are examining our own role as we strive for inclusivity. We believe in the power of art to express the unspeakable, motivate, unify, and heal our communities. During this event, Marzeń will serve as a platform to celebrate Black Art and Black Lives, continue the discussion of the current movement, and explore how artists are using their creative practice to process current events. Artists working in all mediums and of all ethnicities are encouraged to apply. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional works will be accepted. Select works will be on display at Marzeń for the duration of the show while additional works will be accepted for the virtual exhibition and sale. All works will be listed on the Integrated Art Group website for purchase. An additional purpose of the event is to raise money for organizations working for racial equity and social justice reform. Sales will be split 50/50 with the artist and Marzeń will commit to donating 25% (minimum) of our commission to an organization of artist's choice. If artists choose to donate more than 25% of their commission, Marzeń will increase our donation to match.
