Elevating Women and People of Color with Adri Norris (#57)

Adri Norris was born in Barbados and raised in New York and New
Mexico. A former U.S. Marine, she says she was raised to be a
leader—to help people and improve lives.

Adri is on a mission to tell stories of women who have made
history. She does so through her art, her teaching, and her
speaking.


She is especially interested in shining a spotlight on women of
color that have been overlooked in our history books.


In this episode of the podcast, I asked Adri about her work, her
teaching, and her activism.


Less than one month ago, Adri was asked to design and direct the
Black Lives Matter street mural in front of the Colorado State
Capitol building. She selected the words Black Lives Matter
Remember This Time for the mural. We discuss those words, as well
as the symbolic colors she chose and how she involved community
members in its making.


I also asked Adri what steps white artists can take to be helpful
right now.

This episode is sponsored my signature business-building program
for artists, the Art Career Success System.


All of the lessons you learn in the Art Career Success System are
tasks you will address repeatedly throughout your art business
and career—like rewriting your artist statement, submitting
exhibition proposals, developing content, and nurturing your
connections.


In the ACSS you will build a strong foundation that will last
throughout your career.
