Daniel Minter, painter, assemblage artist, 2021 Joyce Award recipient and co-founder of Indigo Arts Alliance will host an in-person collage and mixed media workshop exploring how we develop and transform the cultural landscape of the African diaspora.
Participants will draw on transatlantic themes found in African symbology, masks forms, and iconography that appear in Driskell’s artistic practice. These concepts are prevalent in African American culture and across the Americas.
As there is limited space please register by August 13.
Indigo Arts Alliance was co-founded in 2019 by Daniel Minter and Marcia Minter, a non-profit dedicated to cultivating the artistic development of people of African descent through the means of artist in residences and public engagement programs.

The educational resources and exhibition programming for David Driskell: Icons of Nature and History were made possible through the support and expertise of Indigo Arts Alliance. David C. Driskell was Indigo Arts Alliance inaugural elder advisor, mentor, and friend. Driskell’s legacy is honored through Indigo’s Black Seed Studio Artist-In-Residence and David C. Driskell Fellowship. A foundational aspect of Indigo Arts Alliance’s mission is to amplify and empower Black and Brown artists who enrich our local community.
