At the heart of our work is a mission to celebrate and sustain the vibrant tapestry of culture and creativity within our communities. Founded by visionary artist Derrick Adams, whose work is a testament to the beauty of Black joy and resilience, we believe in the transformative power of art and storytelling to bridge generations and inspire change.

The spaces we create and the programs we champion are more than initiatives—they are lifelines. They honor the legacies of those who came before us and nurture the innovators shaping tomorrow. By investing in our efforts, you are fueling a movement that uplifts voices often unheard, preserves invaluable histories, and fosters a future where creativity thrives without boundaries.

Your support empowers us to host transformative workshops, curate unforgettable gatherings, and provide vital resources to cultivate community and culture. Together, we can build a world where art and connection flourish—a world shaped by the stories we tell and the legacies we preserve.
