STRAIGHTLICK

The Black Art Sessions [B.A.S] started last year, in the Summer of 2020. These sessions were a response to the need for new, clear, accessible branches of entry for Black people to have more opportunities in the art world, specifically the commercial gallery. The call went out on Instagram and brought over 150 students from all over the world. The sessions aim to present and explain all of the possible roles in a gallery - from a gallery assistant to a gallery director - and strives to create a safe space for questions and conversations with the hope that we can meet, learn from, and stay connected with one another, and build our own network... Straight Lick is B.A.S's first exhibition, and the members who have chosen to participate are running the gallery. We have artists, curators, registrars, archivists, web and design team, catalogue and publishing team, and event programmers...
