What is the Artists’ Lab?
Here, art doesn’t have one definition. Art is dance. Art is graphics. Art is painting. Art is poetry. Art is whatever you want it to be and feel.
The Artists Lab, an initiative by Black Chick Media, is a groundbreaking platform dedicated to showcasing the unparalleled talents of artists from varying backgrounds. Our primary purpose is to provide these artists with a space to share their unique creations, stories, and voices with a broader audience. Our goals are twofold: to elevate the visibility of underrepresented artists and to foster a community that appreciates and supports their craft. Just about every piece displayed in The Artists Lab is available for purchase, allowing art enthusiasts to own a piece of contemporary brilliance. Importantly, a significant portion of the proceeds from each sale goes directly to the artists, ensuring they are fairly compensated for their work and passion. Join us in celebrating artistry, diversity, and empowerment.
