When black artists weren't being represented in the New York art scene Danny Dakari was inspired to create a space that was all about the artists. "Where are the artists that look like me? Where are they hiding? That's where ArtHub NYC was officially born," said Dakari. What makes The ArtHub NYC different than any other art gallery in NYC is that they specifically help emerging artists of color have a platform to show their art. This concept soon brought along co-founder, AJ Kellie.
