Genre: Urban Arts, established in 2016, is a media platform where creatives can develop their skills and participate in the international creative community we have built through the participation in our workshops and courses, submitting to our open calls to become published on our site or in one of our gorgeously polished print publications, the showcasing of art and multidisciplinary works at exhibitions curated and designed by our team, participation in our Revolutionary Art and Culture Residency that endeavors to document, provide commentary, and archive art and culture via BIPOC perspectives, & flexing their performance skills at one of our pop-up events.

Our team spends much time preparing opportunities for creatives to develop and share their art as part of the necessity for inclusion. All of this with the knowledge that working in the space of developing yourself as a creative is often seen as a privilege. A plethora of artists in urban areas work jobs that they do not love as a means to support their art and creativity.

Pop-up galleries and performances organized by Nakeysha, founder, via Gene: Urban Arts allows everyone in the urban creative community the ability to develop themselves as artists, become published and showcase their art through performance and exhibition.

GUA is now a playground for 3200+ creatives, all who have their own medium in which they create— their own genre. Genre: Urban Arts is turning the intangible into the tangible. GUA pop-up galleries uniquely organize and support artists who have an appetite to share art with the community.

Genre: Urban Arts is a true friend to the creative, a support for the artist in a world that wants us to end our dance with our connection to divinity- end our connection with the most innate part of ourselves. Here we are protected & freed from the societal pressures of mundanity.
