Our work has received critical national acclaim and we present work in all forms: dance, theatre, exhibitions, vogue balls, and immersive film screenings.
Since 2015, Black Gold Arts has successfully delivered 7 festivals, featuring 45 events with 100+ artists across arts venues, showcasing Black and ethnically diverse artists, and reaching an audience of over 25,000.
