✨ THANK YOU — AND WE ARE STILL GLOWING. ✨
On March 26th, BBE HQ became something magical. What started as an exhibition became a MOVEMENT — and it's all because of YOU. Every artist, every guest, every supporter who walked through our doors reminded us exactly WHY we do this work.
To our incredible artists — THANK YOU for trusting us with your gifts:
A.lowe45 "TheLoweEnd" — wearable art that stopped people in their tracks. Custom clothing pieces, hats, bags and more — this man makes fashion a statement.
Toshiba Hill "Boss Quee" — homemade fragrances and candles that filled the room with warmth and intention. Handcrafted beauty, through and through.
Shelita Dietrich "ShelitasArt" — a celebrity visual artist and body painter extraordinaire. Watching Shelita work is witnessing pure genius.
Rashawnda Scott of Pieces of Kandakes — custom, one-of-a-kind jewelry that tells a story. No two pieces alike, just like the queen who creates them.
Love Quetee — ultra-realistic, melancholic paintings so stunning they stopped conversations mid-sentence. Breathtaking doesn't even cover it.
Angelo Redmond — custom paintings AND hand-painted shoes designed to your vision. Angelo doesn't just create art — he creates YOUR art.
And then there's BROOKE BULLOCK — 8 years old, faith-inspired paintings, and FOUR buyers competing to take her work home. Brooke, you are a force this world is not ready for. We are SO proud of you. 🙌
And to our performing artist BRAYLON — thank you for gracing our stage and elevating the entire evening. You brought the energy and the room felt every note.
🎁 We also gave away over 1,000 items — clothing, diapers, electronics, and more — donated by our generous sponsors and donors. THAT is community showing up for community.
To every single person who came out to support these artists — THANK YOU. You showed up. You bought. You encouraged. You made this possible.
🗓️ BUT WAIT — WE ARE NOT DONE.
Mark your calendars: our NEXT exhibition is coming June 25th and it's going to be even BIGGER. You do not want to miss what we have planned.
And if you haven't joined the BBE family yet — what are you waiting for? 👇
