Tila studios
Mission
The mission of TILA Studios is to empower black women artists to create and showcase their art.
Summary
TILA Studios is a co-working and community space for Black Women Artists to collaborate and receive feedback on their work. The studio serves as an agency for black women artists, creating opportunities for them to showcase their work, and runs workshops, retreats, and other programming to encourage artistic growth. TILA also launched the Above Four campaign which works to tackle the statistic that a mere 4% of art across museums and galleries is created by black women, empowering an underserved creative class to disrupt the industry.
