TILA Studios is a visual arts incubator that empowers emerging black women artists to create and showcase their art through our year-long membership and agency program. When black women artists are thriving, they have the power to transform their communities, neighborhoods and the world. 

Featured in New York Times, Huffington Post, NPR and Forbes, TILA Studios has been the recipient of the Arts Innovation Luminary Award, Best of Atlanta 2017 and 2018 Awards. TILA Studios has redistributed over $150,000 amongst artists with a direct investment to their practice through our residencies, fellowships, and gallery sales. In 2019, TILA curated the first exhibition by women of color for the Mayor’s Office in City Hall and the first organization to produce a gallery for Summit 21, which we sold a record amount of artwork to collectors across the nation.

This archive and database was created to ensure that Black Women Artists can continue making direct connections and relationships with potential collectors.
