The Blunt Space

WHO WE ARE

The Blunt Space Incorporated is a 501(c)(3) not for profit corporation and media hub for art, advocacy, and culture. Our mission is to be a safe haven and provide resources to marginalized voices within the arts. We started as a group of artists who felt unheard, unseen, and without a place to be our authentic selves. What began as a small passion project quickly expanded to not just a space for inclusion, but a movement that combats the exclusionary practices of the artistic world. A movement of diverse artistic narratives finally being seen. A movement of creative voices challenging the status quo that has failed them time and time again. A movement that includes you, her, him, they, and us. Thus, The Blunt Space was born, a space where marginalized artists can have their voices heard and stories celebrated!

Online Blunt Space Initiatives

The purpose of these programs is to give marginalized artists a safe space to showcase their art on a large platform. Over the years, safe spaces have become popular however, these safe spaces often dilute the identity of the same communities it was designed to protect. We saw a need for “true safe spaces” with no censorship of one's identities and through these initiatives, we uplift, highlight, and assist artists who have been historically neglected.

Initiative 1: Serious Series

A monthly series dedicated to bringing awareness and social change. Every month we choose a theme that’s aligned with our pillars of art, advocacy, and culture. Throughout the month, we share art that matches this theme from seasoned artists. The art from each series gets released every Saturday of the month.

Initiative 2: New Sh!t Wednesdays

Designed to highlight amateur artists and help them grow their platforms. We also provide Artists' Profiles which are portfolios we create for artists to help them build their brand and take advantage of other opportunities. The art from this initiative gets released every Wednesday of the month.

Initiative 3: Live Thursdays

We interview different artists and community figures live on our social media platforms. We reflect on many topics revolving around advocacy, the community, and its relation to art because art imitates life. It also serves as a means of exposing artists in the area to individuals that can grant them opportunities in the future. We go live on our social media accounts every second Thursday of the month.

Initiative 4: Our Advocacy Posts.

These are intentional and highly informative social media posts on different, current events that are going on worldwide. We share resources and means to help advocate for marginalized voices around the world. These posts are released as information and events transpire.
