The Granite City Art and Design District (G-CADD) is a consortium of creative project spaces located on the 1800 block of State Street of downtown Granite City, IL.

G-CADD is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community arts forum, and is a project of the fort gondo compound for the arts.

Marianne Laury is an artist and curator whose main influences are drawn from present day fandom culture, sitcoms, and their universal themes of life, death, love and loss. She was the co-founder of BANK Projects, an independent art space in St. Louis, MO, and is currently the Curator and Director of Programming at the Granite City Art and Design District (G-CADD).

Justin’s Bio:

Justin is a designer, poet, and painter. In the designer aspect he is interested in typography, and creating illusions. As a poet he has written a total of four books. Two of the books are based on spirituality and love. The other two break down the male and female process of what it’s like to be loved and gaslighted. As a painter Justin has stuck to one style which is abstract art. It’s the only style where it allows him to feel free.

Madeline’s Bio:

I currently live and work in Kansas City out of my home studio and workshop space. I hold a BFA in painting and a BA in art history from Missouri State University. My primary medium of choice has always been painting, but I’ve always preferred the term visual artist, as the process is non-binary and my work has always involved many mediums. I heavily focus on the self processing grief, dysphoria through sexual and reproductive trauma, and the healing, grotesque journey of returning to the self. It's explorative, experiential, and, at times, tangential.

Jack’s Bio:  Jack Garland is an American photographer. He was born in 1993 in Loveland, Colorado.  Jack’s work has spanned a decade and focuses on color, memory, and melancholic emotions that he first experienced as a child in his small town.   

Growing up wanting to make movies and being struck by films from an early age, he picked up his first film camera at 16 (as a means to practice framing and lighting) and began photographing everything around him. Taking to photography with more ease than film, he stayed in the process and his body of work has grown ever since. With work ranging from landscape, portraiture and documentary, Jack has a unique and nonsingular eye that allows his look to bleed into many genres of photography.

Aly’s Bio:

Since I was 12 years old, I’ve always held a camera in my hand. Learning how to use film photography expanded my world, and I was eager to improve my skills in both analog and digital photography. Glitch art photos and videos are also something I’ve enjoyed making since I was younger that helped me experience creative flow. Outside of photography, I learned skills in various art mediums to help diversify my perspective and possibly combine photography with another skill such as I can book-bind, screen print, use woodcutting tools, and make plaster molds.  Other hobbies include: bubble tea, thrifting, pool, music, dining out, and modeling.

Marissa’s Bio:

Marissa Dembkoski is an artist, art museum administrator, and (recently) quarantine fundraising DJ. She earned her BFA from Lesley University in Photography and Art History in 2017 and completed a collaborative thesis with partner Paal Williams. Their artist collaborative pwmd creates work that intertwines artistic tensions from the history of photography and contemporary modes of photographic production to question the constructs of visual culture. They have exhibited four solo exhibitions, participated in the first triennial exhibition in St. Louis, Counterpublic 2019, and curated exhibition Pixel at the Granite City Art and Design District.

Marissa has worked in communications and development roles at non-profits for the past six years, including Harvard Art Museums and the Saint Louis Art Museum. During quarantine, she pursued her random desire to learn the basics of DJing, which has resulted in creating a recurring virtual dance party fundraiser series called Boogie Knights of Quarantine with collaborator Ally Campbell. Known professionally as DJ MixRiss, she is notoriously known for exclusively using SoundCloud remixes and nostalgic early 00's suburban electronic hits. Boogie Knights are held monthly to fundraise money for important causes, past donations have gone to the Okra Project and the ACLU.

Moira's Bio: Moira Smith is a multi media artist and exhibition preparator based in St. Louis.    Moira helps with install at various local galleries and museums, including Granite City Arts and Design District, the Kemper Museum At Washu, and the Pulitzer Arts Foundation.  In between art handling, Moira can *potentially be seen* searching around for objects to be evidence.     Moira collects information from a variety of sources such as children’s fairytales and folklore, anonymous public surveys, appropriated textbooks or encyclopedias, city alleys, and (especially) eavesdropping on conversations in public places.   

 Moira takes lots of notes but likes to call them field notes or data, for scientific purposes.  She has a collection of rocks — though some art secretly not, but rather, chunks of asphalt.

The goal of Art Brunch is to broaden public interest and support for the arts, provide digital tools and expertise to emerging artists, and present contemporary art in a casual and accessible manner.    

Ashley's Bio: Ashley is a St. Louis based artist and barista at local coffee bar, Blueprint Coffee, located on Delmar. Over the course of her life Ashley has put great intent in trying to come to understanding and acceptance with every dimension of our journey in becoming ourselves. In this day and age of identity, decolonizing our hearts and institutions, and quest for self love, breaking down barriers is not only an external necessity but an internal one.    

Ashley is of Mexican, Indigenous and Hungarian descent, and as a woman of color and one who has lived a life with mental illness these barriers are ones that have hung on every waking thought as she has grown. To not only learn to love ourselves for our growth and beauty but see and accept the other side of that, she desires the courage to delve deeper into taking ownership for our wickedness or shortcomings and creating beauty in the peace that brings.  

 “To make mistakes, to find out that you are the villain and hero in your story is to know all of you. Making mistakes and having that opportunity to rise above them, the ability to make a choice, is the great gift we have as humans as well as our curse. We never want to entertain the idea that we can become what we hate the most in others. Or that we can be everything we have ever wanted, if we could only see past the lies we tell ourselves.”   Animals and the natural world have been the conduit and inspiration for her method of communicating these ideas and questions. Through illustration she takes these characters and creatures to create a narrative on coming back to ourselves, to the earth and to the question of how to find the truth sometimes hidden in our lives. To make sense of our own stories and the growth needed for how we write them.
