I love this idea

Check out the website 20x200. I think it's a really terrific idea. I had known of it last year but seeing it again today made me wonder if there are any black artists involved in similar projects (none of the 34 artists involved in this are black), or if there is or could be a similar project for black artists. Does anyone know of anything? Is anyone interested to try to create a similar thing?

Here's a statement from the site about what they do:

As we see it, there are a lot of people out there who want to sell their art and a lot of people who'd like to buy it. They just have a hard time finding each other. The internet is the perfect place to bring those people together, and we're exactly the right people to make it happen. We're passionate about art and the internet at 20x200. We're really excited about creating a place where almost any art lover can be an art collector.

We introduce two new pieces a week: one photo and one work on paper. Each image is available in three sizes.* The smallest size is reprinted in the largest batch – an edition of 200 – and sold at the lowest price – $20. Hence the name 20x200. (200x20 just didn't sound as good.) We also offer bigger prints for bolder collectors - medium-sized editions of 20 for $200, and large-sized editions of 2 generally for $2000 (some of the large sized editions will actually be original pieces of art and prices will vary a bit). Every single print is delivered with a certificate of authenticity numbered by the artist.

That's what we're all about.
