Five years of building Good Black Art taught us something.

We started with a simple idea: a marketplace and cultural platform where emerging Black artists and the collectors who value, amplify, and preserve their stories could find each other.

But the more artists we met, the more collectors we listened to, and the more work we watched find its way into people’s homes, the more we understood something. We weren’t just helping people discover art.

We were helping people find the stories they wanted to live with.

For Everyone, By Us got us here. It spoke to who we were building for, and who we were building with. What we’ve learned since is what happens after that: when the art leaves The Good Studio, enters a home, and becomes part of someone’s life.

Anthony Peyton Young

Toni Morrison: Flight
Freedom Quilt: Bow Tie
Ceramic vessels
2026

Young’s ceramic vessels draws inspiration from Grotesque
jars and face jugs, focusing on their historical
legacy as functional vessels, grave markers for
enslaved ancestors, and sacred objects used to ward
off evil. While these jugs were traditionally thought
to be self-portraits, Young’s vessels represent both
himself and other individuals in his life, such as
his mother and close friends who provide him refuge
and the space to be his full self.

A recurring icon in Young’s work is the rock dove, a
creature that defies displacement and refuses to let
others dictate its presence. Central to Young’s
visual language is the color blue, which he uses as a
literal and conceptual extension of Blackness—evoking
skin so deep it takes on a luminous blue hue, while
also connecting to water and the cosmos.

Young’s vessel “Toni Morrison: Flight” converses with
Toni Morrison’s insistence on the conjuring of flight
in Song of Solomon and Imani Perry’s brilliant usage
of the bluejay. In reflection with the usage of salt
as a material that can weigh you down, Young’s work
insists otherwise.

Come witness Anthony’s work in our current exhibit, Introduction: Black Spiritual Ecologies!
Dates: August 8th - September 6th (viewing on the weekends and by appointment)
Location: @thefrontnola

We are open today from 12-5. A closer look at some of the miniature sculptures in Introduction: Black Spiritual Ecologies, by @anthonypeytonyoung. This is an exhibit held in Room 2 of our gallery, with artist Ingrid Raphaël, Darryl DeAngelo Terrell, Anthony Peyton Young, Installation by Déja Jones, & curated by SIP, Spiritual is Political @sipcurationco__

It is a multimedia installation, ceramic, wheat-pasted imagery, textile, photography, audio, wood, glass. On view until September 6th.

From Sip Curation:

Introduction: Black Spiritual Ecologies, a first presentation in an evolving inquiry! A three-artist exhibition on place, memory, and the practice of getting well.

In conversation with Toni Cade Bambara’s 1980 novel, The Salt Eaters, spiritual in form and political in tone, the exhibition asks a question the novel poses in its opening line: “Are you sure, sweetheart, that you want to be well?” Like the material and rememory of salt, Black Spiritual Ecologies as a framework layers Black spiritual meaning-making across past, present, and future ecologies. It invites artists and audiences alike into collaboration with materiality, placemaking, storytelling, and the global political conditions of Black life.

Focusing on the pillar of place, each artist converses with the history and spiritual making of a place/places; whether on the ground or in the air. All places that refuse to be forgotten. As a collective story, the artists represent the layering of mediums as a methodology for meaning making. Individually, each artist’s work represents methods for getting well; through flying, portals, or community remembrance, Black life is honored.

About SIP:
Spiritual is Political (SIP) is an independent curatorial studio whose practice centers art, education, organizing for resistance, and world-building. SIP produces, examines, and builds alongside contemporary artists and their communities.
