The Suncoast Black Arts Collaborative, a nonprofit promoting using the unifying power of the arts to nurture inclusion and diversity, has been around since 2017. But itâs received a fresh burst of energy with the addition of several new board members recently, according to founder and artist Michele Des Verney Redwine.
âWe got some new board members in February, and we have done a lot of work since then,â says Redwine. That includes receiving their 501(c)(3) nonprofit designation, updating their branding and their website (suncoastblackartscollaborative.org) and, perhaps most intriguing, establishing a new series called the Arts and Racial Justice Panel series that will provide a forum for artists and arts and civic leaders to engage in dialogue.
