About this Event

The Black community has struggled to build, sustain and transfer generational wealth — primarily due to systemic racism. This session focuses on steps we can all take to support, build, and drive economic independence among the Black community. During this interactive session, Imperfect Pixels artist, Travis Sheridan, will interview Jice Johnson and Brandolon Barnett to explore the intersection of Art & Economy.
