Last night, I began to map out my itinerary for Art Basel. I have limited time in Miami, so it’s crucial for me to be intentional with my time. I tracked 6 Black-Owned Art Galleries at Art Basel (including booth numbers!). Below, I include information about the galleries and how to find them at Art Basel.
If I’m missing any other galleries, please let me know in the comments below ⬇️.
How to 6 Black-Owned Art Galleries at Art Basel:
Housing
HOUSING is a migratory gallery concept based in New York City. It is guided by a desire to stimulate public discourse through the work of artists & creative practitioners whose works show critical commentary & intent. Part of their motivation is to support artistic practices & aesthetic experiences that contour the limits of visibility, & advance the conditional inclusion of artists of color.
