Last Friday we closed out Future Legends, and we are still feeling the energy from the room.
Thank you to all of the artists who shared their work, the performers who filled the space with sound and movement, and everyone who came out to experience the exhibition with us. A special thank you to our panelists for sharing their insights and powerful conversation during the closing.
Moments like these remind us what is possible when creativity, technology, and community come together. We are grateful to everyone who helped make this month so special.

Last Thursday, J.P. Morgan joined us at Future Legends to speak directly with our artists about next steps, career pathways, and navigating the creative industries.
Their team offered thoughtful advice, practical insight, and encouragement that will continue to support our artists beyond the exhibition space. We are forever grateful for the time, intention, and energy they poured into our community.

Last Wednesday, we brought Black Interactive to AECOM for their Black History Month exhibition, and it meant so much to share our work in that space.
Watching our members stand beside their pieces, explain their process, and connect with engineers and architects was powerful. It reminded us that creativity does not live in just one lane. It shows up in science, technology, engineering, art, and math.
Engineers and architects are artists in their own right. They design the world we move through every day, and being able to exchange ideas across disciplines felt special.
Thank you to AECOM for welcoming us and celebrating Black creativity in all its forms.
Art. Technology. Design. Community.

Thank you to our incredible moderator Glenn Cantave for guiding such a thoughtful and inspiring conversation. From powerful dialogue to the smooth
Started off with sounds of live saxophone by Kobie Dozier flowing through the gallery , every moment reminded us how important it is to gather, listen, and imagine together.
Thank you to everyone who showed up, supported, and dreamed with us. Week 2 was one to remember 🤎✨
