dual Mission

Providing Ample Opportunities

Florida’s Suncoast is renowned for its unparalleled commitment to the visual and performing arts. Residents and visitors are consistently exposed to an impressive array of art exhibitions, theatrical productions, film festivals, and music concerts. While we are all justifiably proud of the local commitment to the arts, it is important to ensure that works produced by artists belonging to underrepresented groups are appropriately represented throughout our artistic landscape.  


The entire community benefits tremendously when ample opportunities exist to expand knowledge and appreciation of the innovative ways in which different cultures have used the arts to describe and interpret the lived experience.


Suncoast Black Arts Collaborative is comprised of a small group of individuals with a strong interest in increasing the visibility of works produced by artists of color with a specific interest in artists of African descent. The dual mission of the organization is:  


  1. To advocate for greater exposure to African American Artists throughout the  Suncoast Arts community
  2. To  provide educational forums/symposia to expose students and arts patrons to the work of African American Artists



Initiatives and Partners

Suncoast Black Arts Collaborative is pursuing this mission through a variety of initiatives, including sponsorship of exhibitions, hosting salons for guest artists, field trips to museums and exhibitions, and co-sponsorship of performances and exhibitions. Suncoast Black Arts Collaborative has focused its efforts on creating partnerships and collaborations with local arts organizations that embrace the vision of a robust and diverse arts community. 

Our partners and collaborators include: 

Polk Museum 

Art Center Sarasota

Hermitage Artist Retreat 

Manasota ASALH
