BLACK GALLERIES IN THE BAY
The Bay Area has a rich history of art and culture, with a breadth of offerings ranging from classic to experimental, set against a backdrop of social justice, diversity, and technology. Locally, both nascent and globally recognized black artists including Sargent Claude Johnson, David Johnson, Mel Waters, Kristine Mays, Emory Douglas, Raymond Saunders, and Nina Fabunmi deliver thought provoking pieces in their chosen mediums.

Black art is experiencing a belated surge in demand thanks to a reevaluation of Western art’s canon and seismic shifts in culture, politics, and curation. Activity amongst black collectors is also intensifying, and these black Bay Area galleries and museums offer an eden to both seasoned and first-time collectors, as well as patrons.
