Founded in 2018 by Malene Benett, BADG is a mission-driven organization that is committed to establishing a more equitable and inclusive creative culture by advancing Black artists and designers. The BADG Lab, for example, provides space and support for artists and designers to express their artistry freely. At its recent BADG of Honor fundraiser in Manhattan, the organization revealed what is its second grant, according to a spokesperson.
Five standout talents were saluted at the Interior Design Magazine-sponsored event. ArtLeadHER’s founder Mashonda Tifrere received the Collective Circle Award. The Ontario College of Art & Design’s dean of design Dori Tunstall picked up the Education Award, while Hood Design Studio’s founder and creative director Walter Hood took home the Founder Award.
Kesha Franklin, a BADG Maker, oversaw the festivities as emcee. Annie Block, Asad Syrkett, Brad Ford, Isoul Hussein Harris, Ivy Jones, Jamie Drake, Mikel Welch and Nate Lewis were in the crowd. Attendees were among the first to see how four BADG Makers — Tiffanni Reidy, Lana Abraham-Murawski, Johanna Howard and Holly McWhorter — each reimagined a Kravet furniture chair. Their designs are part of BADG’s Black Joy auction that is live online at Charitybuzz through Nov. 10.
