Nbmbaa Greater Michigan Chapter

10/08/2026

Greater Michigan Chapter went to Los Angeles and came home with new connections, new perspectives and even more momentum.

With more than 4,000 professionals registered and a national network of 80,000 members, National Pivot Conference was a powerful reminder of the reach and strength of our broader community.

Being at conference meant access to leaders, ideas and conversations from across the country, which creates opportunities to learn from one another, expand our networks and bring fresh thinking back to Greater Michigan Chapter.

The impact of conference doesn’t end when the sessions do. It continues in the relationships we build, the knowledge we share and how we use those experiences to create greater opportunities for our members and communities here at home.

Want to experience it next year? Join the Greater Michigan Chapter today!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Black Art in Focus! We also thank our partners at NFBPA, Artprize, City of GR and GRAAMA for helping create such a meaningful experience.

From the artwork to the conversations shared along the way, the evening reminded us how powerful it can be to support our local artists in Grand Rapids.

If you haven't had a chance to visit Artprize yet, hopefully these photos of the amazing artwork of our talented, local, artist, convinces you.
