Community

The Black Art Experience is a community tailored towards existing and potential collectors of investment grade Black Art. Through curated travel itineraries, educational programming, social gatherings, and exclusive access to some of the nation’s most well known art entities, BAE’s programming is designed to educate participants and cultivate community between collectors and additional members of the Black Art ecosystem. Through this work, BAE strives to provide its members with the knowledge and networks necessary to confidently navigate the art world with confidence, maintain good stewardship over Black Art, and champion its impact on the culture at large.

Our special community partnership with The Chicago Bulls will create a special experience for the youth of the city’s West Side community. Our goal is to open the minds of the students beyond their immediate community and the traditional teachings about art so they can begin to see themselves in within the often exclusionary and elite world of fine art. It is critical for the students to see themselves beyond their circumstances and be given the space to dream, knowing that it is possible for them to create a livelihood as an artist, advisor, curator, gallerist, and beyond.
