Client: Client: Eden At- a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering underrepresented artists and creatives of color with the education, resources, and community needed to thrive personally and professionally. They provide onsite activations and programming that coincide with global events and give creatives of color a chance to be seen, heard, and celebrated.

Role: Producer & Director of Strategic Partnerships

Event: Eden At Basel

While the art industry is valued at a whopping $68.7 BILLION, artists of color remain underfunded, unappreciated and overlooked. Often, they can only dream of having the opportunity of presenting their work during global events like Art Basel. Our team co-curated and produced a groundbreaking 3-day event, in the Historic Overtown community, December 7-9, 2023, to connect a vibrant community of artists who have historically been underrepresented during events like Art Basel Miami. We had several artists and attendees, including a Forbes 30 under 30 honoree, a featured published curator, and a renowned visual artist.

Our Impact:

  • Employed 20 creatives of color

  • 300+ Event Registrations

  • Secured $40,000 in grants and funding

  • Raised $10,000+ in private and public donations

  • 130+ Lunches provided to local citizens in partnership with Hashtag Lunchbag
