BLACK ART SPEAKS
A non-profit and membership-based art collective, formed to promote black culture, social justice, and expression through the uplifting of Black artists' voices.
Our objectives continue to be in harmony with the principle of "We Want What You Want." However, the designs we use to articulate and realize our common aspirations have evolved.



BAS supports, fosters, and convenes Black Artists and arts and cultural organizations by creating and connecting direct funding opportunities to employ Black Artists, coordinating and seeking exhibition opportunities, providing professional development to expand business acumen, providing mentoring, educational and programming services.
