Fountain, founded by students and stewarded by Good Black Art, is an annual exhibition, mentorship, and resources program supporting graduating Black MFA artists through their first year after graduation, starting with 16 artists from Yale, RISD, and Columbia and expanding to additional institutions in future cohorts. The program is structured around five pillars: financial stability, legal knowledge, marketing and audience building, relationship networking, and artwork archiving and protection. Workshops begin in January 2027, followed by an inaugural exhibition in New York in spring 2027.
Fountain is an independent program of Good Black Art and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Yale, RISD, or Columbia.
