Premier BLACK ART PRESENTED AT BASEL

Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Black Art In America (BAIA) will be participating as one of the 90 art shows at this year’s Art Basel in Miami, Fl on December 5th -10th. Known as a preserver of African American art, BAIA has documented and generated thousands of art content while also showcasing educational tools for the black art community.

To have them at one of the premier art expositions in the world is a blessing for the iconic sands of Basel and will sure make waves as one of the disseminators of modern black American art.
