“FRACTURE” // Painting by Chris Benjamin

I’m VERY excited to share my final piece for our @designconnectdetroit Future Designer Campaign with you all!!... I call it FRACTURE. It represents the idea of the contrast of Black and White, and how they can create excitement, instead of disunity, intrigue over alienation, and that there is beauty in diversity. The Gold is love, creates warmth and melds, bonds, reminds us of the connection that we as humans must have.

We've launched The Future Designer Campaign with a goal of raising $25,000 to provide career pathways in creative design for the youth of Detroit and Pontiac.

We invest in our middle and high school students' futures by connecting them to career exposure, mentoring, and financial assistance. Supporting DESIGNCONNECT is an economic vote for a diverse and inclusive creative design workforce.

Your donation to the general fund or the individual creators and teams fundraising on our behalf as part of our Create-A-Thon directly impacts our programming capacity.

You can donate to my campaign until 11/18/2020 here:

At designconnect, our mission is to provide career pathways in creative design for inner-city students through exposure, mentoring and financial assistance.
