Our mission

We are a Colorado-based community that uplifts local Black, Indigenous, brown, self-identified artists of color through an annual festival.

Our values

We aim to break down the social and financial barriers that exist for many Black, Indigenous, and POC creatives. We charge vendors zero fees, support them with free equipment rentals, and pay all of our performing artists their normal, equitable rate.

Beyond a festival

Along with our annual event, we support our creatives by connecting them with work opportunities and mentors. We’ve also coordinated workshops and field trips to local art events.
