Our Director Michelle Brandt contributed her thoughts on demystifying the art buying, and collecting experience to the recently released March/April edition of Mahogany Magazine!

“Brandt believes collecting art isn’t just about financial investment—it’s about investing in cultural significance, supporting the creative economy, beautifying spaces, and sometimes even challenging norms. Whether someone is a new or seasoned collector, art collecting is ultimately about curiosity and discovery—learning what resonates, what feels valuable, and what matters personally. Brandt believes her role is to help guide that process by amplifying artists’ ideas and helping potential collectors better understand and unpack what they’re seeing. She feels incredibly grateful to be in a position to share the stories of art and artists with anyone who walks through the gallery doors.” - An excerpt from Brandt’s article

“In Akeylah Wellington’s hands, pony beads transform into a memory, a pixel, and a universe.”

We are grateful to 614 Refined Magazine and writer Kristen Paige for this beautiful feature on tapestry maker Akeylah Wellington and her exhibition, “soft power,” at Pecha Projects — now featured in the newly released Summer edition.

“Wellington leaves room for the viewer to be invited and considered. Her tapestries pose the question, ‘What can art do?’ — a question she ultimately asks herself, and invites the audience to ponder as well.” 

Today, resilience means reclaiming my voice. It means interrogating inherited silence and choosing to speak anyway. Writers like bell hooks helped me understand that healing is both personal and cultural, especially for Black women. My resilience exists so that the women who came before me are remembered not only for what they endured, but for the strength they passed down. Through my voice, my art, and my healing, I offer recovery to their stories — and to my own.
