CEI prints are created by artists in our networks whose artistic practices are aligned with justice and equity. Their prints reflect their ideals, lived experiences, and ethos. By purchasing these prints, you are supporting their creativity and our ability to keep nurturing them. Collectively, we actively create the cultures we want. Available prints include:

Lifematter, 2024 by Andrea Gordillo. Nature constantly reminds us that we are interconnected. In this image, landscapes of water and forest from the territories inhabited by Andrea blend to create a tapestry of life, connected by the ultimate weaver of worlds—fungi and their mycelium network.

biblically accurate angels, 2022 by mica rose. We are channels for nature’s cycles and wonders and rhythms. Life everywhere offers mirrors and reflections for us to connect our bodies (vessels of borrowed earth) back to the wombs that birth us, sustain us, and eventually return us through death.

Since 2021, the CEI has experimented with sharing space, governance structures, professional networks, and financial resources. We believe that we can build a stronger, more resilient arts and culture ecosystem by collaborating rather than competing against each other for seemingly scarce resources.

The CEI envisions an arts landscape where creativity and creatives — especially small to mid-sized QTDBIPOC arts organizations— are regarded with societal respect and allocated ample resources to support cultural vibrancy and abundance. We envision a thriving creative economy in which these orgs do not have to compete against each other or adhere to red tape that hinders free creative expression. We envision a future where artists and arts and culture organizations led by QTDBIPOC folx are at the forefront of shaping the cultural landscape, all while centering justice and joy.
