One Year Anniversary Cake

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of being photographer and videographer for a one year anniversary of Retrofit comics, an independent group of illustrators who created a slew of comics and pieces for a gallery showing at Locust Moon Comics in West Philadelphia. These independent artists gathered together to promote their own work in comics and add to the Philadelphia art scene. Locust Moon even sells some of the Retrofit comics in their store. Here are a few pictures I took from that evening.

Welcome to IAC!

Welcome to Independent Artists for Charity’s official website! IAC is run by artists in the Philadelphia community that want to give back to those less fortunate, and to help fellow independent artists get their work seen by the public in a gallery setting. We understand it is difficult when artists are first starting out be noticed for their work. So we at Independent Artists for Charity have taken it upon ourselves to help those independent creators get their work shown in a professional gallery, while raising money for various charities. Each event will function like an art auction and will sponsor two charities, one local and one national/international. After artists submit their artwork, they will have the option on what event their submission will be shown at, and once their artwork is sold, what charity they will be supporting (or if they will be supporting both). Any unsold artwork will be returned to the artist, and may be submitted again for a future event.

At this time we do not have any events planned, but please keep checking back for updates. We hope to have gallery events in the late spring, summer, and fall, all for different charities.

We help the creative help the world, and would love for you to be a part of it.
