In an effort to amplify the work of Black Artists in our community, we are partnering with Café Coda to present “From Here On Out,” a fundraising exhibition celebrating black lives and exploring how artists are using their creative practice to process current events. The exhibition was curated by Deerfield artist Tony Catteruccia and Integrated Art Group Founder Margaret LeMay. Selected artists include Megan Bloesch (Madison); Thomas Ferrella (Madison); Anwar Floyd-Pruitt (Milwaukee); Jerome Glenn (Madison); Femi J Johnson (Allentown, Pennsylvania); Al Johnson (Easton, Pennsylvania); Jerry Jordan (Madison); Milwaukee Artists for Racial Justice (Milwaukee); DarRen Morris (Green Bay); Tia Richardson (Milwaukee); Anthony Smith (Allentown, Pennsylvania); Ron Tarver (Pennsylvania); Robert Tetzner (Madison); Kenechi Unachukwu (Fitchburg); Mark Weller (Waunakee); Christopher Wilde (Madison); and Tandem Press (Madison).

Accompanying the onsite exhibition at Integrated Art Group/ Marƶeń, is our expanded virtual exhibition on our website at www.integratedartllc.com/shop through March 1, 2021. Additional viewings of the art exhibition at Marƶeń are by appointment.

The event is a fundraiser for organizations working for racial equity and social justice reform. Integrated Art Group/ Marƶeń will donate a portion of our commission from artwork sales to charitable organizations and non-profits selected by each artist, including Arts for ALL, Freedom Inc, Defending Black Girlhood, Omega School, Milwaukee Artists for Racial Justice, United Way of Dane County, Urban Triage and more. The event will be livestreamed to Facebook to reach a broader audience.
