About the event
The Black Art Empowerment Summit is a transformative one-day convening created to amplify the voices, ownership, and influence of Black artists, collectors, and art professionals. Through dynamic panels, intentional networking, and cultural exchange, the summit equips attendees with tools to thrive in the business of art while fostering a more equitable and representative art ecosystem. Taking place February 28th, 2026, during LA Art Week, this one-day event is a must-attend gathering for artists, collectors, curators, cultural leaders, and advocates of the Black arts movement. The day culminates with our signature Awards Dinner, an elegant evening honoring trailblazers who have made significant contributions to the world of Black art. The dinner will also spotlight the winners of our Emerging Artist Competition, whose works will be on view throughout the summit. It’s an inspiring night of celebration, recognition, and connection—with art, culture, and community at the center. You don’t want to miss this. The Summit Day Pass includes access to continental breakfast and networking check-in, four dynamic sessions, and a catered lunch (8:00 AM – 4:00 PM). The evening continues with our Awards Dinner, beginning with a pre-dinner cocktail hour at 7:00 PM, followed by the main event at 8:00 PM. Awards Dinner ticket holders will also receive entry to the exclusive After Party. Please note: Tickets for the Summit and Awards Dinner must be purchased separately.
