Work The Room is a networking party where young artists have the opportunity to meet and connect with established individuals in the industry from Blank Canvas network. 

Blank Canvas is an art collective that continues to build a vibrant art community that drives culture forward and creates platforms for marginalized artists through events, panels, workshops and content creation.

Blank Canvas seeks to reimagine spaces that allow emerging artists to explore their intersectional identities, where the ability to share narratives and raise awareness of culturally critical issues facing our communities is fostered. Using varying forms of artistic and cultural expression, Blank Canvas focuses on what’s best for our community spreading positive energy, showcasing new artists, taking up space unapologetically and being a cultural conduit for creatives. 

*This workshop takes place in Mickalene Thomas: Femme Noires exhibition Gallery 505
