Welcome
Color Me Africa Fine Arts
Founded in 2017 in Chicago, Color Me Africa Fine Arts is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting, promoting, and preserving fine art created by artists from Africa and the African Diaspora. Rooted in rich cultural traditions and contemporary expression, our work amplifies voices and stories that have historically been underrepresented in the visual arts.
We present powerful paintings, murals, and mixed-media works that celebrate African heritage, identity, and creativity. Through exhibitions, educational programs, and community partnerships, Color Me Africa Fine Arts creates accessible opportunities for cultural connection, artistic discovery, and creative exchange.
Whether you are seeking to reconnect with African heritage or are inspired by the beauty, history, and social impact of African and Diasporic art, our gallery and programs offer meaningful experiences that strengthen community, foster cultural understanding, and support artistic excellence.
