We Create Birmingham: Fairfield Black Art Collective
"Artists deserve to feel valued. We want to support living artists. We want them to be able to pay their bills with their gifts. We don’t want to be appreciated once we die." Erika Mixon
We Create Birmingham: Willie Williams of Studio 2500
"Black artists are already underrepresented, so for me to own a fine art gallery as a black male and artist, I’m trailblazing and setting a precedent for generations now and to come."
