Network of Professional Artists  

Connecting underrepresented artists with economic opportunities, advocating inclusiveness and diversity in the metal arts industry and promoting anti-racism practices.

We are building a coalition of underrepresented metal artists.  We will feature members on our website, give them a platform to network together, host collective events and a vehicle to communicate as a unified voice with the greater metal arts community.  Simultaneously, we will advocate for increased diversity in the metal arts industry by helping connect them to new communities and educating them on the value of culturally diverse offerings.  Ultimately, we will address racial inequality by creating new economic opportunities for professional and emerging metal artists of underrepresented communities. 

We seek to engage and support professional and emerging metal artists of the African Diaspora and ultimately connect them with fine art galleries, art and craft organizations, schools, exhibitions, and events that would benefit from increased diversity.
