Support

Black Image Center is a community-powered organization supporting Black photographers and storytellers across Los Angeles. Through a decentralized model, our programming extends far beyond any single location—reaching into parks, partner spaces, classrooms, and neighborhoods throughout the city.

Your support helps us continue offering free and low-cost photography programs, artist residencies, archival workshops, and public events that make visual storytelling more accessible to Black communities. Whether it's through film, portraits, or community exhibitions, we are creating space for Black stories to be told, preserved, and celebrated.

By giving to Black Image Center, you're investing in a future where Black image makers are resourced, visible, and free to create on their own terms—wherever they are.

Thank you for helping us build this vision, one image at a time.
