A vision of unification, merged with the African principle of collectivism, and born of the Sun from the culture of generations, hails the collective home for the culture of melanin works.
 

       Cultured Melanin Literary & Visual Arts Studios' mission is to provide a unified platform of melanated excellence in the media arts. Screenplays, novels, movies, shorts, sculptures, music scoring, choreography, photography; no matter the realm of the melanated arts, we are the guild that protects and emboldens the craft.

​

       For example, if I am a sculptor but I want an artisan in videography and photography to help me visualize my project, being a part of CM.LVAS enables me to leverage the network of members to accomplish this goal. Or if I am a musician looking to collaborate on a music score along with a visualization of the project I can leverage the network of melanated artisans to collaborate - thereby bringing the project to its best form of excellence.

​

       Additionally, CM.LVAS members are welcomed with an official certificate of membership that authenticates their excellence in melanated arts and their status as a fellow artisan that believes and supports our overall mission.
