The Black Art Empowerment Summit is back—bigger, bolder, and more transformative than ever.


This one-of-a-kind summit is where art, culture, and purpose convene. Join us for a powerful day of conversations, connection, and creativity as we bring together leading Black artists, collectors, curators, and cultural tastemakers.

 

Through curated panels, fireside chats, and immersive experiences, the summit unpacks the business of art, explores the future of collecting, and uplifts the creative voices shaping our visual legacy today.

​

Whether you're a seasoned collector, emerging artist, or simply art-curious—this is where inspiration meets action.

Hosted by Art Melanated and NICECROWD, the Summit is more than an event, it’s a movement.


Held in Los Angeles during one of the city’s most dynamic art seasons, this is your chance to network with thought leaders, discover emerging talent, and be part of a growing community committed to amplifying Black artistry and ownership.

 

Tickets include access to all panels, networking lunch, and a gallery experience, all designed to move the culture forward.

 

Don’t miss this unforgettable day of art, culture and community.
