IMAGINE: 25TH ANNIVERSARY GALA

The goal of NBAF's portfolio of programming and curated events is centered around its mission to accelerate the growth and impact of Black artists, in order to foster the sustainability of their economic, social and cultural significance to society, on a global scale. NBAF intentionally seeks partners who are also committed to the equity of expression and freedom of creativity, and stand in advocacy of the excellence of Black art. Please join NBAF in its efforts to empower the possibilities and "imagine" new levels that can be achieved when the community collectively uplifts Black art and artists.

About NBAF

Founded in Atlanta in 1987 by the Fulton County Arts Council under the guidance of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, NBAF is recognized as the oldest multidisciplinary arts organization in the United States focused exclusively on the arts and artists of African descent. NBAF realizes its mission through partnerships with cultural and educational organizations, governments, individuals, corporate and private funders - partnerships that enable us, in part, to create pathways to success in the arts and in society, especially for those in under-resourced communities withdisadvantaged circumstances. The United States Congress honored NBAF as a "national treasure" in 2008, and in 2018 NBAF received the Governor's Award for the Arts and Humanities in Georgia.
