Welcome to the Allies in Arts x Gia Coppola Wine 2021 Collection: #QueerBlackFutures2021
A 2019 Study by Williams College revealed that only 1.2% of artworks in major US Museums are made by Black artists, and that fewer than 1% are made by Black womxn or queer Black artists. This is why Gia Coppola Wine is proud to collaborate with Allies in Arts in launching the 2021 Collection: #QueerBlackFutures2021 in order to uplift and celebrate queer Black artists who haven’t yet been exhibited in major museums.
Curated by photographer and producer Jasmin Porter of Allies in Arts, the collection highlights a different queer Black artist each week via Instagram features about their influences, practice, and what’s needed to support their careers. Participating artists work across many mediums - from poetry, photography, and dance to installation, music and filmmaking. This virtual exhibition will grow into a dynamic series of artworks celebrating queer Black artists to be enjoyed throughout the year.
