Its Mission: “Milwaukee Artist Resource Network (MARN), a non-profit organization, strengthens the local community and economy by improving the lives of artists and increasing the public’s understanding of the value of art. MARN is a significant voice for artists in the local community. Through inspiring and engaging programming, MARN connects professional and emerging artists to resources, support and art appreciators.”

The Vision: “MARN strives to be the leader in supporting artists and strengthening our local art economy. We will improve artist visibility and marketability by connecting artists to each other, to arts groups, and to businesses. MARN will assist artists in building sustainable careers and advocate for them to enhance our regional culture, making our area a hub for artistic development and appreciation.”

MARN Mentors is: “MARNmentors pairs an established and emerging artist in a year long mentorship. Within these exchanges, mentors help mentees develop project goals and overcome personal barriers that the mentee may identify. The hope is to empower and give accountability to the partnership so that 1) the mentor feels free to give aesthetic, moral and concrete support based on their experience; and 2) the mentee is able to hold themselves accountable to their own goals.”

The following works have been my contribution to the Mentor / Mentee program. Thank you to my mentor Pamela Anderson for her inspiration and support. The FINAL SHOW is coming up on May 29th 6 to 9pm (location TBD).
