Let's Give Our Dream an Address?

Meet Breyon “1neofmani” Sommerville and Akiya "K.I.L.O aka SkitL'z" Alexander.

Two Black Wisconsin-based local artists and business partners.

WE are raising funds to purchase the building formerly known as the Art In to operate our business LessWork Local Lifestyle. A group of individuals embracing delegated roles to complete common goals to benefit underserviced artists and entrepreneurs in Madison and beyond. This story is unique, and I am excited to share it with you.

Black-owned solutions are also limited with most Black residents living in poverty-stricken areas, including ourselves. East Washington Avenue/Winnebago St median real estate price is $371,640, which is 90.4% more expensive than the neighborhoods in Wisconsin and 71.0% more costly than other neighborhoods in the U.S.

WE are the first and only brand of local artists using our talents to service artists and entrepreneurs in local communities. WE believe "Local Is The New Global" because assets like the internet allow our message to penetrate beyond our geographical location. Our solutions range from: Music, Photography, Social Media Hosting, Custom Apparel Designs, Image Consulting, Graphic Designs, Videography, Interviews, and Blogging. Visit our website to donate, join, learn more, or signup for our email list.

These are versatile assets artists and entrepreneurs need to sustain their art and businesses. Imagine utilizing audio production, video production, and marketing services without the current pressure to pay per usage? WE call it "NetFlixing" the music and entertainment industries. *Your donations and dedication will assist us with making this conversation a reality. All donations over $100 will be rewarded with our "Controlling The Narrative" shirt to serve as a souvenir to remind you of your contributions to this innovative opportunity to "Make Ownership Cool" in Madison's BLACK community.

This project will not only engage with our community of local artists but also build and grow into the fabric of the community already established in the Madison area. We will employ local artists, share collective wealth, produce, and display premium content. This will result in supporters like yourself viewing this project as a template for local artists to use worldwide to sustain their positions in their residing communities.
