Beyond The Boroughs

2025 Cohort, NYC

Meet the Beyond the Boroughs Class of 2025

We introduced the 2025 cohort of Good Black Art's Beyond the Boroughs. In past years, we focused on challenging the often romanticized aspects of the art world and highlighting emerging artists at the start of their careers.

That remains important, but as we moved through more uncertain times, there was a renewed urgency to equip our artists with something deeper: a strong foundation of self. This year's cohort was shot at The Malin, capturing 10 NYC-based artists building that foundation together.

Captured by Dante Maurice, Good Black Art's Head of Content, and assisted by Alverson Layne.
