To increase the awareness of the diverse artistic production of the black visual artists through lectures and exhibits.. Though blacks in the diaspora are famous for their musical and dance contributions to the world, their contributions to the visual arts are much less well known or recognized. It is the goal of the gallery and academy to increase the awareness of the diverse artistic production of the black visual artists and show their value and contribution to the multicultural heritage of the United States. The gallery provides a mirror by which diaspora artists can see themselves and understand their reality. They interpret this reality and show it to the diaspora community and the rest of the world.
