    Grant for the Web

    125 000 USD

    • Location: United States
    Project lead: Lola Keyes

    The Black Artist Collective’s platform will model a new, passive revenue stream for artists and curators to add long-term value to their essential work. The Art of Influence project will leverage close relationships with curators to connect black artists with a global network of collectors and art enthusiasts. Online exhibitions, curator “walk-throughs,” and studio visits will provide a meaningful access point for the public to engage with living artists’ work. By integrating Web Monetization micropayments into The Black Artist Collective’s platform, even novice art lovers can contribute to artists’ financial wellbeing as they learn more about their work.
