On Monday, June 1, TAA Artist Margaret Sloan made the following post in the private Abundant Artist Mastermind group on Facebook:
“Artists should support artists. During this time of unrest, I’d love it is the members of this group would support black and brown artists by introducing their work to those of us who might not know about them.”
We’ve rounded up the posts here in no particular order. Check out these amazing artists and their work!

Wow, these are some impressive artists. All beautiful work. I’m especially drawn to Le’Ana Asher’s colorful and expressive work and also Richard Mayhew’s – so calming.
I’d like to leave a name of an artist of color that I admire if I may, a fellow art festival artist I see at the art shows now and then even though with Covid, they’ve been put on hold. His name is K.O. Lewis and he’s in Owensboro, Kentucky. His work is fantastic. Below is his Instagram.
