African American Art.

 

The emergence and subsequent popularity of African American wall art and decor has helped to create a Black Arts Movement where African American people can use their artistic ability and diverse experiences and backgrounds to leverage as a voice; promoting change in America and local communities.

Since the beginning of time art has been the primary driver of cultural change. In the United States, African American art has helped spread awareness of the Black experience, and it has also been a tool to help black Americans heal from the historical and psychological wounds the community has endured for hundreds of years.
