Celebrating Black History Month with Artsy

I am a big fan of Artsy and have been for a long time. They have created a truly incredible platform for showcasing art from around the globe and they do so with everyone in mind. Artsy isn't just for the art industry; it's for everyone. This month Artsy compiled a Black Owned Galleries Now feature that I wanted to share with you in honour of Black History Month. It's just a small glimpse of the sheer talent that exists but a good one. The ingenuity of black artists is immeasurable and has a long history and is impossible to capture in one post.  However, today I will share with you some of my favourite works from Artsy's selections. Enjoy and celebrate.
