BADG OF HONOR 2023

BADG OF HONOR celebrates the impact of our collective actions toward building equitable and inclusive spaces. We honor visionaries who advance Black creativity and culture. Your contribution will support our mission and education initiatives.

This immersive experience highlights BADG programs while bringing together a community of creatives, visionaries, and professionals from art, design, and beyond. BADG OF HONOR is our night to recognize individuals whose work aligns with the BADG mission of honoring our ancestral legacies in art and design, taking ownership of our narrative, and creating spaces to celebrate Black creativity and culture.
