The Black Artists + Designers Guild
The Black Artists + Designers Guild (BADG) was founded in 2018 by Malene Barnett, an artist based in Brooklyn, NY, to combat the lack of representation of Black talent and culture in the design industry.
BADG is a global platform representing a curated collective of independent Black artists, makers, and designers across various art and design disciplines who are at the top of their respective fields.
They strive towards creating an inclusive arts and design environment, through equity and inclusivity, by providing visibility and opportunities for their members.
