Black Art Weekend in Austin, TX: Tickets and Full Schedule!

This year, LATV is partnering with ALL KINDS OF BLACK on the 2nd annual Black Art WKND experience for the Black and Brown community but welcoming to ALL —to everyone, show up with peace, love and respect and with the intention to create, learn, educate and share new stories of what a new community could and will look like.

This year’s theme: All Kinds of Black is meant to highlight the people, places and practices of Black culture through various art forms and music. Too often, the Black existence is surveilled and scrutinized, rather than celebrated.

What’s happening at Black Art Weekend?

More than 40 emerging contemporary and urban artists will be featured in exhibits throughout Distribution Hall, with live music, interactive installations, and brunch experiences.

East Austin venue Distribution Hall will be the home of three days’ worth of exhibits and experiences from June 10-12, 2022.

Mission

The mission of Black Arts WKND is to bring the leaders and emerging artists in contemporary and street art genres together in Austin, Texas. In an effort to explore, and discuss how we can grow our communities by opening new doors that give artists of color safe spaces to create and unite with like-minded humans; not based on race, but the skills and mindset that can make a change in the world.

Black is Scarred.

Black is Complex.

Black is Nuanced.

Black is Beautiful.

Too often, the Black existence is surveilled and scrutinized, rather than celebrated. ALL KINDS OF BLACK will tell our story — from the Hood, to the Burbs, to the Diaspora. Black is everything and also the great nothingness from which all life is born. Limitless. As expansive as the universe.

What Black is not:

Monolithic.

Generic.

Boxed in.

What kind of Black are you?

Doesn’t matter.
