Memberships
Welcome to The Tribe
Black Artist Forward is a nonprofit arts organization serving Black artists and creative communities in Cumberland County, North Carolina, and beyond.
​
Artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts, welcome to The Tribe.
​
The Tribe is for people who believe art is more than something you hang on a wall. It's for those who want to be part of the journey, celebrate creativity, and connect with a community of artists and supporters who are helping shape the future of Black art.
Why Join the Tribe?
As a Tribe member, you'll gain early access to exhibitions, events, art releases, and special opportunities before they're shared with the public. You'll receive invitations to member-exclusive experiences, behind-the-scenes updates from our programs and artists, and fun Creative SideQuests designed to inspire exploration, creativity, and connection.
​
Whether you're discovering your first favorite artist, building an art collection, or simply looking for meaningful ways to support Black creatives, The Tribe offers a front-row seat to the work happening inside Black Artist Forward.
​
And because every great community leaves its mark, select membership levels include original artwork, exclusive merchandise, and art delivered directly to your mailbox throughout the year.
​
This isn't just a membership. It's an invitation to belong.
