It’s Fine Art Friday 🎨✨& THIS is what happens when you give young people permission to choose structure or freedom👧🏾👦🏽🔥 This week at Created2Create x @ccpcspetworth , we explored “Coloring Inside the Lines vs. Coloring Outside the Lines” and it turned into something deeper than art. With visual facilitator @joeespacey leading the creative and licensed therapist @shawnessadevonish holding space, students were asked one simple question: “Where is the place that you feel like you can be yourself?” The answers? “My house.” “My bed.” “NBA2K.” “My living room.” Real, Honest & Unfiltered!💭 Some chose pre-sketched hearts & some created their own… but ALL of them told a story! Because this isn’t just about painting - it’s about identity, safety, and learning when to follow the lines… and when to redefine them💪🏽🙌🏽🏆🔥💯 Proud of these young creatives for showing up fully and choosing expression over limitation. THIS is what it looks like when art meets healing in real time❤️‍🔥 Tap in, share this with someone who needs the reminder, and tell us below👇🏽 Where do YOU feel most like yourself? CREATE. HEAL. BECOME. #ArtTherapyMatters #CreativeWellness #YouthEmpowerment #MentalHealthAwareness #Created2Create 🎨🧠💛

✨As @dunnietheartist 🎨 it’s my #soulmission to create art & experiences that heal, inspire, and transform lives 🦋 Cultivating safe spaces and creating with children is always a Joy! Such a wonderful session at @ccpcspetworth with @carymichael_ @seetonesmile & our amazing group of students 🥰💫 forever grateful for every opportunity to pour into our local youth! Taking time to intentionally pour into them, encouraging expression, and supporting how they see themselves in the world truly matters more than words can ever explain. When young people are given room to explore identity confidence begins to grow in ways that last far beyond the moment. Having the opportunity to work with Cary consistently is a blessing, and being part of the Created to Create Coalition for 2026 makes our journeys even more meaningful this workshop served as the kickoff for the series 💫 Special thanks to @artbaeonline & @artbaefoundation for this beautiful moment of creativity & connection 🫶🏾 📌Workshop: “How to Blend Color vs. How to Blend in Society” Medium:Paint Mixing Studies on Canvas Focus on blending techniques using #paletteknifepainting, gradients, and color transitions Allows exploration of harmony, contrast, and fluid identity Session Focus: This session introduces participants to the relationship between creativity and social identity. Dunnie’s adaptable, affirmational expressive approach to art allows participants to explore color and fluidity without pressure, while Toni’s grounding as a mental health professional supports conversations around belonging, social navigation, and authenticity. Together, this session encourages participants to reflect on when to adapt, when to stand out, and how to move confidently within different environments. #createdtocreate #artteacher youthempowerment

Yoo, it’s #FeatureFriday ✨And I’m grateful to be featured by @boldjourneymag 🙏🏽 Shoutout to the work wife @mindbolic for the referral. This one hits different because it really speaks to the WHY behind everything we’re building through @artbaeonline & @artbaefoundation … “Visibility without viability isn’t enough. Artists don’t just need exposure, likes, and social media shares… they need access, placement, and pathways to income. They need ecosystems, and not just temporary highlights & moments.” That line right there is the shift. That’s the mission, an THAT’S what @artbaeonline is becoming. From placements in spaces like @milkandhoney_dmv , @mixandminglecoffeelounge , @the_belounge , Lydia on H, and more, to cultural activations, to building out the @artbaefoundation pipeline… this is about creating real infrastructure for creatives to, of course be seen, but most importantly, to sustain and thrive. We’re celebrating art, but also building systems around the art. If you’ve ever supported, collaborated, attended, shared, or even just believed in the vision… this is your win too 🫱🏾‍🫲🏽✨ TAP IN and read the full feature (link in bio 🔗) and let me know your favorite takeaway in the comments 👇🏽 Last, but certainly not least, shoutout to @_styves for the dope pics 📸 #Artbae CreativeEcosystem #SupportArtists #DMVArts #BlackCreatives

Ayeee ✈️🎨 what happens when ART meets ALTITUDE? The 2026 #SkyQueenLuncheon served as a reminder that when women lead, industries shift, ceilings break, and new flight paths are created in real time 👑💫 Honored to curate and showcase artwork inside the illustrious Yumi Hogan International Art Gallery at @bwi_airport , transforming the space into a visual narrative of legacy, elevation, and possibility 🖼️✨ We also hosted a live auction with proceeds supporting the continued mission of @womenrockwings , because impact > aesthetics, ALWAYS. One of my favorite moments from the day was hearing powerhouse panel moderator @where.is.malikah drop gems on what fuels her journey… her “engine” rooted in resilience, purpose, and showing up even when the path isn’t fully clear (THAT part!) 💭✈️ Grateful to be in the room with such an extraordinary collective of honorees, pioneers, executives, entrepreneurs, creatives, and culture shifters who are actively redefining what’s possible in aviation and beyond. Special shoutout to my guy @donsodebonair for the art direction and always helping bring the vision to life at the highest level 🎯🔥 Salute to the entire ecosystem that made this moment happen: @womenrockwings @bwi_airport @lalathinksoutloud @blackwomeninaviation @thisistheipragency @bepiceventsanddesign @myovernighttravelbags @spalogicdc @p.u.r.e.h2o @hilton @rockwtgs @thehanascott @byreneerochelle _newsbae @missdanisha @kiing__juiice @bepiceventsanddesign @thehhdiva And love to all the incredible honorees and featured voices: sky_mami_ @ladyav8rbeth @monimc05 @shaesta.waiz @blackgirlsflyinc @cmskybound @jetgirlstephanie @astronautmanju @kamora_freeland 📸 Photo credit: @leel.chamberlain THIS is what it looks like when purpose, representation, and creativity collide at a higher frequency 🚀 More than art. More than aviation. This is legacy in motion! #ArtbaeOnline #SkyQueenLuncheon #WomenInAviation BlackExcellence CreativeDirection

Motivation Monday. Let’s talk legacy 🖤🎨🏛️ First, THANK YOU Baltimore for the love, culture, and creative energy that filled the room for HEIRS & ARCHITECTS: Building What Was Denied exhibition opening during “Art & Vibes” at @the_belounge . The city showed up from near and far and turned an opening reception into a true cultural moment🙏🏽✊🏽🖤🗾 If you missed the opening, the collection is still available and ALL works are for SALE🖼️🎨 This exhibition is rooted in a powerful idea: we are both heirs and architects. We inherit legacy from those before us and design the future by reclaiming space, reshaping narratives, and building what was once denied🏛️📐 Collecting art is one of the most powerful ways to support culture while building value💪🏽💯 Unlike most purchases, artwork does NOT depreciate. As artists grow, their work grows in value. And YES, collecting is easier than most people think. Flexible payment plans are available. Think financing furniture or booking a flight on Klarna, except the process is much simpler and designed to make collecting accessible Support living artists. Start your collection. INVEST in CULTURE🧱✨ Browse the curated Heirs & Architects collection through the BE Lounge gallery link in @artbaeonline ’s bio. Collector inquiries 📩 [email protected] Tag a collector, interior designer, or art lover below who should see this👇🏽 Featuring work by: @8erenity @ajwheelerart @art.by.nv @artby_kd @ayanacruzrice @bpeppersart @carymichael_ @deussayink @dunnietheartist @fran4real1 @iamnrwrt @ishana_arts @jay_durrah @kayode_art @kplenz_photography @laarocheart @liz_miller_productions @qrcky @sharonattawayart @sulimanonque @suzette.royster.art @the_asaka_gallery @thenaiturner Major appreciation to @venroyjuly , @the_belounge , and @grnwdrow for helping bring this vision to life. Let’s keep building! 🙌🏽💪🏽🖤🏛️ #HeirsAndArchitects #ArtCollectors #BaltimoreArtScene #BlackArtCollectors #SupportLivingArtists

Marvin Gaye. His voice did not just sing. It testified. You are looking at a man crowned the “Prince of Motown”. Over a dozen Grammy nominations. Multiple Grammy wins. The numbers hum on their own. Born and raised in Washington, D.C., he sharpened his gift in church, and that led him to joining “The New Moonglows”. Before the charts, before the bright lights, there was a young man harmonizing with the world like it owed him an answer. When the country felt like it was cracking at the seams, he asked a question that still floats over speakers like incense. What’s Going On. He made romance sound revolutionary and revolution sound tender. He proved that soul music could carry both candlelight and conscience. #artbaefoundation #blackhistorymonth #marvingaye #artistspotlight #dmv

In light of our upcoming event in partnership with @diversify_ice in Philly this weekend, we want to give Dr. Debi Thomas her flowers! On this day in 1988, Dr. Debi Thomas became the first African American to win a medal in figure skating at the Winter Olympics. With this, she also became the first African American to medal in ANY event at the Winter Olympics. She remains the only African American to medal in figure skating to this day. Trailblazer. ⛸️✨ Make sure you follow @diversify_ice and click the link in their bio for more information! Tickets start at $39! #artbaefoundation #blackhistorymonth #debithomas #figureskating #onthisday

Aniekan Udofia. Born in our nation’s capital but his art is something the whole world can enjoy. His artistic drive fueled his frequent trips to the Big Apple to submit his work to companies such as XXL. Aniekan’s community involvement in D.C. included neighborhood activities and youth-oriented programs. He even linked up with MuralsDC to paint pictures of peace and unity for the youth. Aniekan’s most famous piece has to be ‘The Torch’ located on the side of Ben’s Chili Bowl on U Street. What a coincidence, right? With all those important faces on the side of the chili spot, some might say you can feel the temperature rise the closer you get. To this day, Aniekan still makes wonderful pieces so you know he isn’t passing his torch anytime soon. Tap in and check out more of his work! @aniekanreloaded #artbaefoundation #blackhistorymonth #aniekanudofia #thearts #artistspotlight
