Onaje Henderson, one of the three owners of ZuCot Gallery in Atlanta, wants to normalize art collecting in the Black community.
The gallery's latest exhibition is Dear Black People: A Love Letter. Henderson thinks that art collecting should be more accessible to the Black community.
To achieve this, he hosts Art Tastings, an event led by an artist and a gallery professional, designed to reduce the intimidation factor of collecting art.
“For a lot of us, even corporate executives, it’s their first time buying artwork or coming to an art gallery,”
Henderson aims to foster a welcoming environment at his gallery for both veteran collectors and novices, making them feel comfortable in these spaces.
