Hello,
I’d like to share an art collaboration between two artists from Cleveland, Ohio and Alberta, Calgary. We created artwork in response to a Washington Post article about how black people are being harassed and profiled for wearing masks during COVID-19 pandemic.

This is one of my top five favorite art sites to routinely visit every week. Thanks for including an article on the street/graffiti/urban artists who completed the beautiful Maya Angelou murals in LA. Most black art blog or websites don’t include them. Did not know about the female artist, Victoria Cassinova from LA!!! So now I am a fan of her art. Also, another black artist, NUNCA (Francisco Rodrigues) was not listed in your article but did a mural. He is Afro-Brazilian, and has created many murals in the US and around the world. Also his artwork has been in many US urban art group shows. Keep up the good work!!!!!

A great resource for those interested in African American art. I am
a major collector of the works of the late, great Purvis Young. One of my
missions in life is to get Purvis, who was my friend, the lasting
recognition he truly deserves. According to William Arnett, editor
of Souls Grown Deep, Purvis was perhaps the greatest ” pure painter ”
among a group of twentieth century ” vernacular African American painters ” from the South.

Came upon your website, info searching prominent artist Mark Bradford, who will be taking part of in a student session preempting the 27th Annual James Porter Colloquium on African American and African Diaspora Art at Howard University, in April 2016. I would love to get more information and updates.
