LaShun Tines Spotlights The Art of Blackness

Working Not Working September 11, 2017

There's a growing movement for inclusive policies in a wide range of fields. But Art and Design, while typically more progressive, are not where they need to be as industries. And Advertising is lagging even further behind. It's what initially lead WNW Member and AIGA Chicago Diversity Lead LaShun Tines to start The Art of Blackness exhibition in Chicago five years ago. And it's still one of the few, if not the only, national group art shows dedicated to furthering the presence of African Americans in the fields of art, design, and advertising. One of its key goals is highlighting potential heroes for younger creatives. "Familiarity and exposure to our heroes in the art and design space is an unspoken issue affecting African American artists. As a result, the aspirations of our artists can be limited. We try to introduce our audience to African American trail-blazers to serve as inspiration and as an example that the possibilities for African American artists and designers are endless."
