Good Black Art was founded in 2021 by art collector and entrepreneur Phillip Collins, who aimed to solve his greatest challenge on his art journey: Where could he buy art that reflected his lived experience? Born with the intent to share accessible, contemporary Black art with a community of aspiring and emerging artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts, Good Black Art has since grown to offer e-commerce, media, partnerships, and exhibitions.

Today, Good Black Art is a Black and LGBTQ+-owned, New York-based company and platform whose mission is to empower its community to explore, engage, and acquire and live with artwork from the next generation of Black artists. It’s a site for the discovery, preservation, and championing of Black artistry and history. 

We aim to empower—equipping artists with opportunities for professional mentorship and networking while incubating a new cohort of art buyers that falls beyond the traditional scope of the art ecosystem. Good Black Art is paving the way for everyone to live with art.
