Invaluable, inescapable, and individual—this is art. Art comes in many different forms, but its result is usually always, in some way, a depiction of culture, lifestyle, and emotion. Black Lives Matter protests continue around the nation and for each of us that means something different. Many of us wish to begin or continue to show support for the movement, but are unsure how.

Since art is infused so deeply with culture and personal stories, supporting artists is an amazing way to join the Movement and learn more about individual lives and experiences of African-Americans. Here is a list of six art centric, successful, Black owned, and Black infused businesses to get you started. Be ready to get lost in unique narratives, filled with beauty, charisma, pain, and resilience.

She created a piece which she named “Art in Motion” and knew she wanted nothing more than to spread her new found love for ceramics to others. She later filled out an application for a space in the Avenue of Fashion and opened Art in Motion in 2013.
