Black Artists of DC

Black Artists of DC The Black Artists of DC is a non-profit dedicated to the advancement of art created by Black imaginations. We are looking towards a bright and healthy future.

Headquartered in Washington, DC, BADC officially formed in 1999 between three artists, Viola Leak, PLANTA, and Aziza Claudia Gibson-Hunter, as a solution to resolve the lack of communication and support between local creators. Over the last 22 years, BADC has grown to become a transnational arts network composed of artists, educators, scholars, curators, and collectors involved in all disciplines

who have at one time lived, studied, or worked in the Washington metropolitan area. Our membership ranges from emerging to established talents, from practicing professionals to those practicing solely for the joy of art, and generations spanning all adult age groups. Today, BADC members live, exhibit, study, perform, and curate on every continent.
