Afro & The Diaspora is seeking artists to showcase their work in an intimate curated art experience taking place during Art Basel Week at Afro Lounge in Hollywood, Florida. Artwork will be displayed digitally and added to our virtual museum collection. Selected pieces will also be available for sale, with proceeds supporting our nonprofit initiatives.
