Beyond The Boroughs

2023 Cohort, NYC

Meet the Beyond the Boroughs Class of 2023

Good Black Art is built on mentorship. Beyond the Boroughs, our first artist-led campaign, gives firsthand advice from fellow peers. It's a group of artists we're recognizing for their talent and entrusting to guide the next generation of Black creatives.

This cohort brings together 12 NYC-based artists across different mediums, each excelling in their own lane. What connects them goes beyond talent, it's how they show up for each other.

This campaign gets transparent about the often glamorized reality of working in the arts. Shot at the Good Studio in the heart of SoHo, by photographer Marcus Maddox, discovered through Black Is Mag.
