The Infamous Art Collective

In 1856, a group of men from Upshur stood against slavery and was branded, "The Infamous Nine."

‘The Infamous Art Collective’ is in reference to a group of men in 1856 residing in French Creek, Upshur County, who stood against slavery and was labeled by the editor of The Herald, ‘The Infamous Nine.’ This is a grassroots movement and like ‘The Infamous Nine’, we are a collective full of skilled local artists who welcome diversity in our artists and their work.

The grief is coming in waves. We have our lives and that is what matters in the end.

Yesterday was day 2 of clean up. The losses were colossal, not just in monetary value, but like everyone else, in the memories made with each piece. Whether curated over time, or adding equipment over the years with the ultimate vision for our venue...to see it tossed on the curb, well, it is a bit of an emotional struggle.

Each guitar, drum, amp, pa system, art, furniture ... I remember each one, collected over a lifetime of love.

Thank you to those of you who've reached out, and to those of you trying to get your footing, we feel you, we see you, we love you too.

... Art is tragedy. Art is loss... What makes beauty is pain ... Olivie Blake

We have our lives, and that is the foundation in which we build and rebuild over and over again. There hasn't been anything easy about this creative vision ... we're trying like the rest of our community to navigate through these literal treacherous waters.

In times like this, we rise up and do what the iNFAMOUS does best ...we make art.

Below are the album covers of our lives, assembled with heaviness in our hearts, but the boxer still remains. Before sending these beautiful creations off to their next transition, we captured the fact that to us, they are still beautiful and represent the heart of us.
