Brooklyn Collective CLT

✨Announcement: A New Chapter Unfolds at Brooklyn Collective! ✨ The Brooklyn Collective has been privileged to nurture performing and visual arts through the Brooklyn Collective Gallery, the Historic Grace and Society at 229. As we celebrate the remarkable journey of the past four years of the Brookyn Collective Gallery - we share our gratuities of the talented curators and artists that made all powerful exhibitions possible and the community that supported the same.  Today, we proudly introduce the gallery's next chapter. The Uptown Brooklyn Gallery, led by the visionary Keith Golden of Art by Golden/Golden Galleries, this new gallery will continue our legacy of excellence in fine arts. Renowned for representing some of the nation's most talented artists and for pioneering the nationally acclaimed Black Fine Art Fair traveling exhibition, Mr. Golden brings a wealth of experience and passion to our community. Stay tuned as the Uptown Brooklyn Gallery expands its hours, inviting all to immerse themselves in the vibrant world of artistic expression. We extend heartfelt gratitude to our founding partners whose unwavering support has enabled curators, artists, collectors, patrons, and installers to showcase their talents within our space. Join us as we embark on this exciting journey, promoting creativity and inclusivity through the enduring spirit of the arts!  Please visit our website to view all the BC sponsored exhibitions: https://lnkd.in/e74rwap8

Meet one of our Mid-Career Artists in our current exhibition, Book Ends! Anthony Burks Sr. | Mr. Anthony Burks Sr. is a master at creating life-like form in his paintings by using various media including charcoal, pens and ink, pastels, watercolor, and colored pencil. His use of color juxtaposed against stark white backgrounds to create a three-dimensional feel is a rare quality seen in very few artist’s work. I dare to say that the iconic artist, the late great Charles White would be delighted with his works of Art. View works by Anthony Burks Sr. at the Uptown Brooklyn Gallery Wednesday through Saturday from 11am-6pm. *All pieces are available for purchase (unless otherwise stated) - to learn more, ask our BC Ambassador during your visit to the Gallery or head over to brooklyncollectiveclt.org

Meet one of our Emerging Artists in our current exhibition, Book Ends! Kevin Nance West | Kevin is a contemporary abstract and portrait painter. Kevin is a cancer survivor who has used this obstacle to fuel his passion for life and his craft as a fine artist. Kevin‘s current work is filled with colorful lines that create emotion in the viewer of the works. Many of these current works focus on children, being children, enjoying life as they dream about their future, without limits being placed on them by the world’s view of them.

Meet one of our Emerging Artists in our current exhibition, Book Ends! Ametria Stamps | Mrs. Ametria Stamps is an artist truly, guided and inspired by God, the creator of the universe to paint in an abstract form. Her works of art are created using acrylic, oil, cloth, and many other media. When asked to explain her creative process, Ametria is consistent in her response, “It’s really unexplainable, God is the author and finisher of my artwork. When He moves me to begin a work of Art, I start immediately. When He says the work is finished, I stop because the painting is complete.” View works by Ametria Stamps at the Uptown Brooklyn Gallery Wednesday through Saturday from 11am-6pm. *All pieces are available for purchase (unless otherwise stated) - to learn more, ask our BC Ambassador during your visit to the Gallery or head over to brooklyncollectiveclt.org

Meet one of our Mid-Career Artists in our current exhibition, Book Ends! Najee Dorsey | Najee is a contemporary American visual artist known for using mixed-media, collage, various paints, and photographic works that depict southern African American life among other important subject matter. Najee is truly cut from the same cloth as Bearden, Denmark, and Jacob Lawrence, as he uses his unique style to tell stories about American life primarily in the Mississippi Delta and the Deep South. One of Najee’s favorite subject matter to create work about is the history of the Delta Blues.
