SUPPORT SOULS GROWN DEEP

Donate today and be a catalyst for change. 


Souls Grown Deep has been at the forefront of advocating for equity and justice in the arts, and we are asking you to join us in fueling this crucial mission.


The art world stands at a crossroads, grappling with deep-seated inequities. While strides have been made towards inclusivity, there is much work to be done to ensure that artists of all backgrounds are given the recognition and opportunities they deserve. Souls Grown Deep has been unwavering in its commitment to advancing social justice within the art world, focusing on supporting artists from communities that have historically been marginalized. 


Here's how your donation can drive change:


Preserving Cultural Heritage: Souls Grown Deep is dedicated to preserving and promoting the work of African American artists from the Southern United States. Your donation ensures that their contributions to the art world are not only recognized but celebrated and preserved for future generations.


Supporting Artists: Your contribution directly funds grants and exhibitions that empower artists from underrepresented communities, fostering an environment where their creativity can thrive.


Job Creation and Economic Development: Your support helps us foster economic investment in Black Belt communities, spawning creativity, including small businesses and cooperatives, and developing cultural tourism through the Gee’s Bend Heritage Trail and the annual Airing of the Quilts Festival each October.


Advocacy for Inclusion: We actively advocate for systemic changes within the art world to break down barriers that hinder the progress of marginalized artists. Your support amplifies our voice and strengthens our ability to drive meaningful change. 


This year, let us come together to champion a more just and equitable world. Your contribution, no matter the size, is a crucial step towards fostering a creative landscape where every artist's story is valued and heard.


Make your contribution and stand with us as we strive for a more inclusive and equitable artistic community.


Thank you for your continued support and for being an essential part of Souls Grown Deep. Together, let’s create a legacy of social justice and artistic empowerment that resonates for generations to come.

Thank you for recognizing southern artists. My mom was an artist in Louisiana and had no encouragement, paper or time to do her art. Yet she did, in the margins of newspapers and other paper she could find. Glad to support.

I have admired Gee's Bend quilts for years. I am an "improv quilter" and have visited several exhibitions of their amazing quilts. Their quilts are just stunning and really move me.
