Black Art! Collective at Memphis’ art museum

Art museums are historically majority white spaces. Yet, success for Memphis’ art museum and for Memphis’ art community, located in the largest Black city in America, must robustly integrate our city’s Black community, Black artists, and Black arts professionals. The Black Art! Collective ensures that Black artists and audiences are actively welcomed and supported within and through the city’s museum, and that their participation grows and deepens.

‍

Purpose

Exhibitions: Each year the museum will present a major exhibition by Black artists.

Investing In Memphis' Art Collection: Each year the museum will purchase a work of art by a Black artist to add to Memphis' art collection. BAC members will be invited to participate in the purchase.

Community Engagement: Twice a year the museum will host exclusive Black Art! Collective educational events.
