Where art meets activism, amplifying black voices through creativity and culture

Black Art Matters

Celebrating Black Art Culture & Community

Celebrating Black Art & Community…Black Art Matters (BAM) is Austin Justice Coalition’s annual art show and fundraiser dedicated to amplifying Black voices through powerful artistic expression. More than just an event, BAM is a vibrant space where Black artists, local musicians, chefs, and vendors come together to showcase the beauty, resilience, and creativity of Black culture.

BAM is built on the belief that art is a force for change — each piece, performance, and experience challenges the status quo, sparks conversation, and inspires action. It’s a celebration of Black artistry, community, and the ongoing fight for justice
