Supporting the Black creative community is vital right now and always. Art can inspire, heal, and unite, and with the protests against police brutality [1] and systematic racism happening right now, supporting Black artists by following and highlighting them as well as buying their work is a small, tangible way to show your commitment to stand with the community in crisis. Creatives are using their social platforms to shed light on issues of racism [2] with stunning, powerful art. We're highlighting Black artists you should follow on Instagram as well as their work that is bringing light to the social injustices of our times [3]. Keep reading to follow and support Black artists who are creating beautiful works that spark change.
