Celebrate Black Artists and Artisans in February!
Our organization has participated in discussions around equity and accessibility and how to make differences in the lives of Black creatives in our community. We have landed on this stance: the best and fastest way to help Black Artists is to purchase their work.
This February, Evanston Made is highlighting Black Artists we’ve worked with in the community and will keep this list updated and published under the What We Do section. If you know of anyone that should be added to the list, email us at info@evanstonmade.org
Please take a moment to read their bios, learn about their current body of work and consider purchasing their art. This February, 100% of art sales will go to Black Artist members, EM is forgiving our 20% commission.
