ARTNOIR is a non-profit organization that celebrates creatives of color internationally and advocates for cultural equity in the arts industries by offering alternatives to the traditional arts narratives. Formed on the idea of community first, AJLF aims to support and shift the cultural power dynamics in the careers of grant recipients during an unprecedented time in the art community.
Those wishing to contribute directly to the AJLF without the purchase of an artwork can do so here, while individuals of color from the art community can apply for microgrants online.
