10 Brilliant Black Artists

This week I took some time to work on making sure the art I'm seeing in my instagram feed is from a diverse group of artists (I followed some hashtags like #blackartists and #blackgirlartshow to make sure I continue to see new-to-me artists on my feed, and did some intentional searching around to find artists to follow). In the process I found some new favorites! Here are ten of my favorite Black artists, some old favorites and some that were new to me.*

*I left Kehinde Wiley off the list just because I figure he is likely famous enough by now that everyone knows him. But if you don't, he is a bonus number 11! Google him immediately. ;) I first saw his work in person a few years ago at the Brooklyn Museum and was blown away. If you ever get the chance to see his work in person, do it!
