Art and Practice with the Black School - Arts Initiative at Columbia University

Series

Art and Practice workshops bring together artists and art workers at all stages of their careers to learn from each other. This season is organized in conjunction with Just Above Midtown: Changing Spaces, and is inspired by the Just Above Midtown (JAM) gallery’s support of Black artists and artists of color, and its cultivation of a wide and diverse public for their work. In the spirit of JAM’s The Business of Being an Artist professional-development programs, each session will offer opportunities to exchange ideas and knowledge.

Artists

The Black School (TBS) is an experimental art school teaching Black/PoC students and allies to become radical agents of change. Based on a commitment to community building and our core principles of Black love, wellness, and self-determination, TBS’s mission is to extend the legacy of art in Black radical histories through innovative, multigenerational workshops and programs and our youth-staffed art and design studio, TBS: Design Studio.
