Each Monday at the start of New York Art Week, we introduce a new cohort, NYC-based artists who bring a rich mix of mediums, experiences, and intentions to our community. These are the ones to watch: artists who don't just excel in their craft, they lead by example, shaping where the art world goes next.

Beyond the Boroughs is Good Black Art's peer-to-peer mentorship program and artist spotlight, built for emerging talent finding their own path through the industry. Past cohorts have gone on to residencies, gallery representation, and institutional acquisitions.

This is where the next generation gets its start. Meet each class.
