For Temple Douglass, a University of Georgia student majoring in art with an emphasis in drawing and painting, art has always been her favorite hobby. However, she found her experience with the majority-white student population and faculty in the Lamar Dodd School of Art to be annoying and uncomfortable.
As part of a push for diversity, equity and inclusion of underrepresented students, the art schoolâs Solidarity and Justice Task Force and Committee initiated the formation of the Black Artists Alliance. The organization, run for and by students, aims to provide resources and a source of community for Black, Indigenous and People of Color visual and performing artists of color across campus.
