Keith Golden<\/strong>, the founder of Golden Galleries in Colorado, is the fair organizer and curator.\u00a0 He formed Art by Golden\u00a0<\/strong>in 1992 as an art education and investment firm, now named Golden Galleries<\/strong>. Golden is known nationally for delivering high quality, white glove service to clients’ art acquisitions, and is a noted art lecturer for corporations, museums and private clients.<\/p>\n

Golden is partnering with Keith Key, <\/strong>founder of KBK Foundation<\/strong> for the Ohio show with the goal of advancing Black culture through appreciation of art. Key\u2019s 501c3 KBK Foundation will be the beneficiary of the art auction held during the opening reception on November 11.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy belief has been that we need stronger representation of African American fine art in major shows, and rather than waiting for that to happen I have created a synergistic show that showcases some of the most esteemed Black artists and galleries in the country,\u201d says Golden.\u00a0 \u201cThe larger world is now expressing an interest in works by Black artists, but most important to sustaining our artists is that Black collectors remain invested in their work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Key is the chair of the KBK Foundation and president & CEO of Keith B. Key Enterprises. His firm offers a host of banking disciplines and entrepreneurial skills in operations and finance.\u00a0 Key has been involved with over $1 billion dollars of real estate development inclusive of residential, commercial, and religious-oriented projects. Keith is a graduate of The Ohio State University and is a former OSU football player.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we\u2019re doing is developing, promoting and educating show goers on the need for Black collectors to support Black artists, offered Key.<\/p>\n
