Foundry (n.)
A foundry is a place where raw material is subjected to heat, pressure, and skill—refined into something sharper, stronger, and enduring.
Black Artist Foundry operates in this tradition.
We are a site of sharpening: a space where Black artists refine their practice, strengthen their tools, and build the durability required to sustain creative lives within and beyond cultural institutions.
who we are
We are reshaping the narrative for Black artists by offering unrestricted funds, studio and exhibition spaces, technical support, and community. We confront the systemic barriers that have historically hindered Black artists by providing the resources necessary to thrive and create without limitation.
We believe in the transformative power of art and the singularity of Black artistic voice. We support artists in expressing their stories, perspectives, and visions boldly and authentically. This work is a commitment to liberation, empowerment, and collective change. Together, we are building a more equitable and inclusive creative landscape—one where Black artists lead, inspire, and thrive.
We are Black AF.
