BAIA Scholarship Recipient, Dontanarious Kelly, Sells Two Paintings
Earlier this year, Black Art in America awarded Dontanarious Kelly, a student at Columbus State University, a scholarship. We also began selling several of his pieces on Shop BAIA. As of a result of the exposure of his work within the BAIA marketplace, two of those paintings recently sold, paying dividends that will help him move forward in his career.
Join us congratulating Dontanarious in this tremendous achievement!
Check out this Three-Piece to learn more about the art and the artist, and peep/purchase his artwork on Shop BAIA.
