Willie Cole Black Art Matters Mug

Black Art Matters is an affirmation of the importance and presence of Black Art socially, academically, culturally, and institutionally. It both teaches and celebrates the Black artist’s contribution to the human experience.

This 11oz. ceramic mug features the Black Art Matters logo and artist Willie Cole's iconic scorch mark. The mission of Willie Cole's Black Art Matters initiative is to advocate for black artists, bringing black art up-close and up-front to cultural destinations around the world. 

Willie Cole is the recipient of the 2006 Driskell Prize. Established by the High Museum of Art in 2005, the David C. Driskell Prize is the first national award to honor and celebrate contributions to the field of African American art.
