The Collectors

Proud to be from Flint and “hometown bred,” Anthony and Davida Artis have been collecting African-American art since 2009. Their collection now totals more than seventy works  mostly prints, but also drawing, photographs, sculptures, and watercolors. According to the couple, they have collected art with the themes of faith, family and faces and “want people to be moved and inspired.”

 

They are attracted to art that tells a story. They seek to share their personal and professional experiences, so others  will learn about African-American arts and culture, as well as collect African-American artworks.
