African Voices Magazine

African Voices Communications, Inc., a non-profit arts organization, is dedicated to fostering cultural understanding through art, literature, and film.

Founded in 1992, our mission is carried out through public programs, arts appreciation, and the publication of African Voices magazine. The magazine plays a pivotal role in helping writers and visual artists establish careers in art and publishing. Our writers have published work in poetry and fiction anthologies while others have completed novels and memoirs. The magazine reaches 38,000+ followers via our websites and social media network. African Voices has earned national respect among the literary community for publishing excellent fiction, poetry, and artwork.

Spelman College, one of the nation’s oldest Black women universities, has acquired African Voices’ arts collection. In 2022, African Voices received the National Endowment for the Arts – American Rescue Plan grant to support our services to community and artists.

Over the past 30 years, African Voices has published the works of over 4,500+ emerging artists of color and presented more than 10,500 community programs to expand access to the arts. Each year, African Voices provides artistic services to 5,000 artists of color and young people throughout New York City and the tri-state area.
