About Black Art & Design

Husband-and wife-team Christopher Cox and Grace Okereke launched Black Art And Design in 2018 as a space to explore the work of emerging and established black creatives in the arts.

Focused on covering topics you don’t find elsewhere, B.A.A.D. delivers a diverse range of online content, including news, traditional reviews, interviews, personal essays and podcasts.

B.A.A.D also makes art accessible offline by hosting Meetups in the world’s top museums, galleries and theatres showing the work of black artists.These events promise to be as exciting and informative as the work that appears on B.A.A.D each day.
