This program is funded by a grant from Honfleur Gallery

The Infinity Program was created by Zsudayka Nzinga to address the lack of representation and support for Black American and African American visual artists. Throughout her artistic journey, she has learned more about the business and formed important relationships with other women in the industry which have allowed her to progress to a full time art career. In an effort to help other women open doors and build strong relationships in the industry, she created a program to support under represented, emerging and upcoming artists.
The Infinity Program targets 8 underrepresented Black American and African American woman identified artists, 18 and above, interested in progressing their artistic career. With an emphasis on artwork that tells Black American and African stories, the program works to empower artists by providing artistic support, business support and an opportunity to showcase their work and create future opportunities and relationships.

*Why We Emphasize Black American Lineage
Black Americans are in a pivotal period in history, where for the first time, we are actively creating the language around defining our specific lineage, culture and identity as multi generational Americans with complex ties to continental Africa. This experience is vastly different than an American whose family has traceable African roots, speaks a specific language and practices customs specific to their lineage. Both should be showcased in their uniqueness and given space to express.
