Atlanta-based TILA is launching a new recurring monthly fund to support black women artists nationwide.
In an effort to sustain black women’s contributions in the art industry during COVID -19, this funding will occur monthly from April 2020 until August 2020. If the organization continues to witness and experience the economic impact of the COVID-19 they will continue awarding an unrestricted financial award until January 2021.
Just 4% of art across museums and galleries are from black women artists. The #AboveFour Campaign’s goal is to increase awareness and interest around Black Women’s participation and contributions in the Fine Art Industry by elevating black women artists stories, gathering community and hosting conversations during Miami Art Week.
