"We're not a museum on purpose," Capote said. "It's really about being a space that centers artists of African descent... so that general audiences have access to an institution that reflected our history accurately."
"Tying into my Haitian ancestry, I uncovered and unveiled such great strength," Blaizin said, "but also it's a spirit and a way of life that is going to carry me through. And I know it was intentional by my own ancestors."
"In the last few years, we've trained about 265 artists," Capote said. "We thought we were going to touch maybe 40, and the need was so great from our artists... This institute and incubator will give artists an opportunity to train, learn and grow."
