2020 Highpoint Market

A BADG Public Programming Project

Our work illustrates experiences deeply rooted in black culture, utilizing iconic characteristics of black art and design, such as figurative motifs, traditional handmade processes, bold colors and textures—all packaged in a modern design aesthetic. When BADG had the opportunity to curate an exhibition at Plant 7 at Congdon Yards, High Point’s collaborative community space, we knew that we needed to create an experience that enriched the lives of Black Makers, while also issuing a call to arms to the wider industry.

2020 Colossal Media

A BADG Public Programming Project

Colossal Media came to BADG with an idea - they had access and control of public art locations, typically occupied by white artists. In our work with them, we matchmade the perfect talent fit with Guild Maker Karen J. Revis, a painter, printmaker and patternmaker. The result is Colossal’s Represent: Black Arts, the first iteration in a series of public artworks, spotlighting original works by artists from underrepresented communities. Learn More
