Art Show info.
What is often seen as “American” or “Western” culture is actually Black culture. Black America invented flavor, perfected rhythm, and defined cool. We did all this with no thanks, but that’s not why it happened its just a natural byproduct of who we are. With the cards stacked against us gatekeeping was never an option and although it may be too late to stop the Post Malones of the world from profiting off of it we can never let them forget where it all came from. For years people have tried to make trauma the defining characteristic of what makes Black art when trauma is not what defines the Black experience. The goal for You’re Welcome is to showcase our contributions to the greater culture and remind them that America is nothing without us.
Gallery info
We are a DIY exhibition space that is dedicated to showcasing local and international works of art. Solidarity and relationships with artists and movements are important to us. We come from a history of curating art show pop-ups hosted in basements, studios, and public areas since 2005, leading us to open Urge Palette Art Supplies and Gallery in 2013. Our current space, Pain Sugar Gallery, opened its doors in October of 2017. All exhibitions and events are open to the public, all ages and free of charge. Drop by and experience the artwork we are so honored to share.
