Black Girls Who Paint Awards Fund

BLACK GIRLS WHO PAINT Introduce the BGWP Awards Fund!

BLACK GIRLS WHO PAINT has released the BGWP Awards Fund, an initiative that supports actual Black girls, teens, and students in their artist education and growth! Each month, one girl between the ages of 6-18 will receive the Girls Award, a $50 e-gift card to an art store for supplies. Each Spring and Fall semester, one student between the ages of 17-21 currently enrolled at least part-time in a visual arts program will receive the Student Award, a $750 academic award to help offset the cost of art supplies, program fees, academic expenses, food, etc.

*The BGWP Award Fund is 100% funded by the BGWP community - members and donors alike. A portion of every membership fee does towards the Girls Award and the Student Award. If you are interested in directly supporting the artistic pursuits of Black girl and teen painters across the globe, please consider donating and/or joining the BGWP membership! As membership and funding grows, that number of e-gift cards and academic awards given will increase too. Exciting!

Help spread the word and be the change we want to see!
