About



'Grass IV' by Niya Gao, January 2026
SPACE 01 is a black-owned art gallery + studio that enables and empowers emerging artists of color to explore, cultivate, and reconstruct their artistic practice in an open, modular environment geared toward positive social change. The space is operated independently by Trejon D'Angelo, a  photographer, musician, and pastry chef from in Dallas, TX.


'The Body is Chaos' by Félix Mirel, November 2025

SPACE 01 centers emerging artists of color in its programming, providing the space and means for system-impacted creatives to explore, cultivate, and profit from their artistic practice while maintaining autonomy over their body of work.

We also partner with local organizations and businesses, including AnySquared Projects and Bellows Film Lab, to extend the reach and impact of our mission. Highlights of our programming include: 

  • Monthly Exhibits: Showcasing emerging and established artists whose work challenges norms and inspires change. 
  • Community Events: Hosting wellness classes, film screenings, and fundraising initiatives to address critical issues in our community.
  • Educational Opportunities: Providing workshops, artist talks, and resources to support creatives at all stages of their careers. 

Our mission is rooted in resilience and resistance, reflecting the spirit of the artists and communities we serve. SPACE 01 is committed to pushing boundaries, dismantling systemic barriers, and fostering a world where everyone has the opportunity to create and thrive.
