Glenn Murray's Page

Having been bit early by the entrepreneurial bug, Glenn Murray along with a few friends helped write, produce and release a music album at 19. After that he held various positions at some of the top corporations in America including General Electric, Leo Burnett and Sears. The urge to have his own business and leverage what he had learned at these companies along with his own marketing ideas never left. In 2000 Kreations Art was started to assist his parents promote their African art business. That venture led to a number of live events the launch of online gallery Kreationsart.com and eventually a roster of over 10 independent artists and shows in other cities across the country. In 2004 to help promote a friend who had written a book he created Authors and Artists a unique event that combines the best of independent art and literature. The event celebrated its fourth year 2007 and 220 Communications represents not only authors and artists, but also small businesses and musical artists. The Company launched BUY220.com in 2007 to leverage the growing list of new writers taking advantage of the marketing machine 220 was creating and to expand into music and DVD sales. Today 220 Communications produces over 20 events yearly including the monthly “Sessions” events in partnership with Little Black Pearl Art Design Center. Kreationsart.com surpassed over one million hits in 2006. The company has donated to a number of charities including the Chicago Abused Women Coalition, The Village Foundation, and The Leukemia Lymphoma Society, Gilda's Club of Chicago and The Black Star Project
While the business takes up a lot of time, his spare time is spent reading and enjoying movies, live music, and “attending events I don’t have to work or create!” He is a former board member of Youth at the Crossroads and currently sits on the board of the Murphy Hill Gallery in Chicago’s Lawndale community. His goals are clear for the company and its properties, become a full circle marketing organization tailored to the arts. ”From development of marketing strategy, distribution and promotion, own the process”.
