During this time, artists need your support more than ever. Check out these six black artists in Phoenix — their expertise goes from visual art to music, to culinary arts. Remember: you don’t have to buy art to show your support. Share this amazing work with your friends and family, that will make a huge difference too!
Alvin Galloway
A photographer with a history of over 25 years working in the business, Alvin Galloway, provides photography for events like the IMPRINT: African Americans in the Arts Exhibition held by West Valley Arts. He produces a podcast: The Alvin Galloway Show, focusing on everything from recent events to music to culture.
Carvin Jones
The King of Strings himself, Carvin Jones, is a musical artist from the area that has become a world-renowned blues icon. He was voted one of the greatest blues guitarists of all time by Guitarist magazine, but he remains a helpful Phoenician. This down-to-earth music man has made his name known for both his music and his service to the community.
Kathi Williams
Kathi Williams and her husband, Vernon, have functioned as the proud owners and operators of Phoenix’s Onyx Art Gallery as well as their sister business, Onyx Sweet Shoppe. Her work with baked goods is an art in and of itself, and she has been proudly and safely opening her gallery to partner up with West Valley Arts for the IMPRINT exhibition this month!
