Communication

Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Aspiring artists (nascent, emerging or established) of African descent do not have adequate resources nor informed, connected mentors, to achieve their highest potential as self-sustaining artists on the world stage. The absence of adequate resources (financial, network connections) and mentorship (trusted advisors) blocks the visibility of career trajectory of Afrodescendant artists.

Our programs

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our goal is to increase the visibility of Afrodescedant artists; to provide artists with access to artist-in-residencies, artists talk opportunities, an opportunity to showcase their work on the Foundation's artists marketplace connecting them with crucial art patrons looking to purchase work, or to participate in the Fund for Community Art by providing a commissioned work of art.

- Develop strong alliance of partner organizations (other nonprofits, museums, universities, technology industry professionals) to collaborate on design and execution of programs for visual artists

- Establish a community of artists where introductions are made, experiences shared and a safe culture is established to allow visual artists to mutually exist each other to face obstacles, challenges and to share successes

- Amplify the message of the Foundation through video stories of visual artists; through face-to-face visit with influential art patrons and to expand the access to resources for visual artists

- Network of existing partnerships across the United States and Puerto Rico
- Board of Directors with financial management and investment skills and legal expertise
- Access to high net worth art patrons interested in engaging with visual artists to purchase their work

Launched an art residency program for a Afrodescendant Puerto Rican artist who will not only work on a project for public exhibition but also mentors young students of the arts at the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (MAPR) in San Juan, Puerto Rico

Established two Darryl Chappell Foundation Artists-in-Residence at Light Work in Syracuse, New York

Established a photographer-in-residence at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans; Provided photographer-in-residence with an experienced mentor located in Houston, Texas; Public exhibition from December 2022 - January 2023 as a part of PhotoNOLA in New Orleans
