Project Osmosis Selected As Winner of First-Ever Empower Award by IBM Design

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Prize Highlights Nonprofit’s Commitment to Bringing Diversity to the Design Industry [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text] CHICAGO (PRWEB) AUGUST 03, 2021 Published on CISION PRWeb [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text] In the design industry, Black creatives only make up three percent of its workforce, and they often feel shut out or unseen. Chicago-based Project Osmosis’ mission is to not only shift the narrative, but the numbers. Through its design education initiatives, the group introduces the art and business of design in under-resourced communities. Recently, Osmosis received the inaugural IBM Empower Award aimed at prompting and promoting a pipeline of diverse talent.   “We are committed to building the Osmosis Design Center, a state-of-the-art space in the South Side of Chicago where our youth can dream, learn and express themselves in a safe environment,” said Executive Director,...

Heart and Soul

Avery K., a rising seventh-grade student at Annie Keller Regional Gifted Center, had never seen a full episode of Soul Train before this year. Her parents grew up with the wildly popular music and dance program, and when a modern version—American Soul—premiered on BET in 2019, Avery watched every episode with her mom. As part of Keller’s curriculum, she was required to create a project for this year’s Chicago Metro History Fair, and after seeing the theme—“Breaking Barriers in History”—she created a project highlighting the impact of Soul Train on the entertainment industry. ...

Designing Inclusion In Chicago & Around The World

Lockhart’s story is a story of a young man from the streets of St. Louis whose mother was a brilliant artist who faced the discrimination of a time when African-American designers weren’t welcome in many industries. Yet, despite the barriers of racial resistance that impeded her from succeeding in design, she always encouraged Lockhart to be the best artist he could be. She’s celebrated him in every stage of his career from the moments he was bringing home art to be hung on the kitchen’s refrigerator to him becoming an African-American designer recognized on a global stage...
