Description
The NBAF (National Black Arts Festival) is one of the premier national and international celebrations of the art, music and culture of people of African descent. The mission of the NBAF is to engage, cultivate and educate diverse audiences about the arts and culture of the African Diaspora and provide opportunities for artistic and creative expression.
The NBAF celebrates the arts in three ways: Education and Public programs, year-round programming, a summer festival.
NBAF produces year-round education programming, as well as events presented in collaboration with our partners, in addition to the annual summer festival for which the organization is named. Recognized as an innovator in the arts, NBAF was awarded a $1 million, 5-year restricted grant to participate in Leading for the Future (LFF), a program of the Nonprofit Finance Fund (NFF), funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation.

People Are Saying...
"It was wonderful to meet you all and share the time with you and your gorgeous fabrics! And my couch is loving the two gorgeous pillows that now adorn it and the table runner in the middle of the living room. And the other table runner already went to someone for a bday present. Thanks again and all the best to you and the members of the cooperative. The artesania and spirit you all brought to the conference was so lovely." - Emily G. - San Francisco, CAPeople Are Saying...
"Once I got home it took me a while to get unpacked but once I got the blanket on my bed, I knew immediately that I had made the right choice (in spite of all my friends voting for the one I did not pick). I love it! Every time I go upstairs and walk in my bedroom, I get a big smile on my face and think of you and what a wonder thing you have done for West African women." - Melanie B. - Miami, FL
