Changing The Game: The Power of Print, Publishing, and Partnerships

From the venue:

Join Najee Dorsey (Founder, Black Art In America), Mitchell Parchment (Executive Director, Brandywine Workshop and Archives), and John Guess (Executive Director, Houston Museum of African American Culture) for a compelling conversation on the transformative power of collaboration across cultural institutions.

This dynamic panel explores how partnerships between trusted platforms, archives, and museums are reshaping the landscape of Black visual culture—through printmaking, publishing, and community-driven promotion. From legacy-building to market-making, our speakers will unpack how these alliances elevate artist visibility, foster collector confidence, and fuel cooperative economics in the art world.

Drawing from Brandywine and HMAAC’s influential legacies and BAIA’s innovative, entrepreneurial model, this session offers insight into how strategic collaboration strengthens sustainability, builds community, and preserves cultural narratives.

Whether you’re an artist, collector, curator, or art enthusiast, this is your invitation to see how partnerships in print can leave an indelible mark.
