Artist Consignment Agreement
This exhibition proposes a curated presentation of 2D and 3D works by Black artists whose practices embody narratives of cultural interconnectedness, resilience, and collective strength. Presented at a premier Black art fair, Collective Rhythms seeks to highlight how shared histories, traditions, and aesthetics continue to shape communal identity and unity. The works included will engage audiences in a multi-sensory dialogue that underscores how Black creativity, across time and geography, functions as a force of solidarity, healing, and forward vision.
In these current times—marked by global challenges, social unrest, cultural fragmentation, and the search for belonging—the theme of Collective Unity resonates now more than ever. At a moment when division often dominates headlines, the arts serve as a bridge: reminding us of our shared humanity, affirming the strength found in community, and offering visions of hope and possibility. Through the lens of Black artistic expression, this exhibition positions unity not as an abstract ideal, but as a lived practice of resilience, creativity, and connection.
