Whether you contributed to this historic milestone as a We Fund Us monthly giver, our Legacy Brick campaign, 2020 GoFundMe, participating in fundraising or building events, or just sharing information about The Schoolhouse with your network: THANK YOU.
The Black School uses art to transform social realities through Black Love, Healing, and Self-Determination. Our vision is a liberated future where art and design flourish as tools for expanding social good.
After six years including a crowdfunding and capital campaign, community design research, workshops, surveying initiatives, multiple events, volunteer efforts, and almost 2 years of construction, our vision for intergenerational, collective power is almost complete.
The Schoolhouse is a building shaped by the priorities of the people it is meant to serve: Youth who need creative pathways into economic mobility and methodologies for shaping the world around them; families who want safe, intergenerational gathering spaces; elders who want continuity for cultural traditions and stories; and communities that need stable, local infrastructure created with their input and in their image.
Join us in celebrating ten years of making good on a collective promise, as we open the doors to a new era of Black institution and nation-building.
WHEN: October 10, 2026, 12PM-4PM
WHERE: TBSchoolhouse @ 1660 N. Roman St., New Orleans, LA
RSVP: www.theblack.school/opening
We’re serious about dismantling systems of oppression with our people while spreading Black Love and Joy, so let the vibes be immaculate.
Acknowledgment of our Funders: Mellon Foundation, Ruth Foundation, and Ford Foundation
