ABOUT MURRAY:
1950 - September 2, 2009:
ATA is deeply saddened by the
passing of our co-founder and board
member, very gifted artist, ardent
arts advocate, inspiring teacher …a
generous light, and dear friend full
of humor and wit. ATA is a much
better organization because of his
many efforts in our behalf. We will
forever have a hole, not only in our
hearts, but in the place that his
contribution would have filled...
ABOUT CARDELL
September 9, 1957 - October 26,
2001:
Cardell curated seven of the ten Art
in the Atrium, Inc. annual
exhibitions at the Morris County
Administration and Records
Building's Atrium Gallery. At the
time of his passing he was starting
his own gallery, "The 0 Group" which
featured decorative fine art.
Cardell was raised in Linden, New
Jersey and graduated from Linden
High School in 1975. He graduated
from Hampton Institute in 1980 where
he earned a degree of Bachelors of

In Texas Cardell worked at the

also helped to revitalize the
African American Museum of Bishop
