TILA STUDIOS TILA Studios is a visual arts incubator headquartered in Atlanta, GA that empowers Black Women Artists to create and showcase their art. We are working to increase representation in museum and gallery spaces because only 4% of art in galleries and museums across the United States are from black women artists. We solve it by building a powerful network and connecting artists to resources, providing accessible studio space to collaborate and creating cutting edge exhibitions to launch careers. This results in an increase of productivity, revenue and career growth and confidence. Our goal is to increase paid job opportunities for black women artists.
