About
We are curating a series of art exhibitions that celebrate and preserve our cultural heritage, while fostering a thriving environment for artists of the African diaspora.
Impact
We champion African culture by showcasing authentic perspectives of African artists. Partnering with local businesses in exhibition cities, we stimulate local economies, & create opportunities for creatives, and inspire youth to pursue arts careers.
Progress
We are currently preparing for our first confirmed exhibition, Baba Shop Dallas, scheduled for September 2nd, funded by a grant from the City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture. Our next confirmed exhibition will be in Lagos, Nigeria in December.
Team
We are a collective of creative individuals with African roots, experienced in organizing and curating art exhibitions and events. Our portfolio includes successful projects in New York City, Chicago, Dubai, Miami, and Johannesburg. Please see deck.

The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
