The All Black Creatives Foundation exists to create community, equity, and opportunity for Black creatives everywhere.
Programs
ABC Studios
ABC Studios is a monthly chat hosted on Behance Live (a platform that connects creatives). Each month, in partnership with Adobe, we sponsor leaders from our community to share their stories, walk through a creative project, and provide space for members and guests to share and ask questions.
This program provides a safe space for hundreds of our members to gather and grow together in community.
ABC Workshops
Through ABC Workshops, we provide members the opportunity to develop skills, gain insights, and participate in activities hosted by our partners.
Workshops have included: “Story School”, Black Tea (for wellness), and “Share Black Stories”: Film Screening with Instagram, Introduction to UX with Adobe, portfolio reviews with Square, startup workshops with Google, and more!
This program has allowed our community to develop skills and expand their industry networks.
ABC Memberships.
With over 5,000 members around the world, we’ve become a home for Black creatives looking for community, opportunities, and a safe place to reach their potential.
Through this program, we’ve helped our members find jobs, provided them with introductions to new clients, provide them with grant funding, help them to launch new products and services, expanded their networks, and we helped our members to secure paid and career boosting opportunities through campaign partnerships with companies like Verizon Media (see the campaign here).
Lastly, we’re a FAMILY. As a family, we helped to raise funds to provide over 100 Black men with free therapy after George Floyd was murdered and provided funding for Black women who needed support after losing their jobs due to COVID.
Thank you to the creatives and brands raising money for All Black Creatives!
This year artists helped us raise over $1,000 for art sold through the Imperfect Pixels installation and Grailed donated over $6,000 to our foundation from profits they made from selling clothes!
If you’d like to host a fundraiser to help our foundation continue to do great works, please let us know and we will BOOST your campaign! This is great for ERG’s, brands, and individuals who are committed to supporting Black creatives.
