The African American Atelier is thrilled to announce the launch of the 12x12 Digital Residency, a groundbreaking year-long digital residency spotlighting African-American creativity, culture, and innovation.
Each month, one selected artist will be featured in an immersive digital spotlight designed to elevate their voice, vision, and creative practice.
We are looking for 12 African American artists based in North Carolina to take part in this inaugural residency, and you could be one of them!

Jordan T. Robinson
@JTRPresents
Jordan T. Robinson is a creative professional with a passion for helping people and a background in Art, Design, and Technology. As a practicing artist, Robinson creates work that reflects on identity and the reclaiming of one’s agency through personal storytelling in sculpture and portraiture. Their latest body of work, the “I AM” series, investigates the intellectual, emotional, and ethical facets of an individual that influence what they do, or do not do. Other works explore relationships, such as the “Encounters” series, a meditation on the stigma faced by infected people and the risks we take for human connection.
Robinson’s passion has also manifested in other avenues. Through their business, JTR Presents, Robinson has led, co-created, and curated artistic programming and creative events to advocate for others. The Transparency Project, an initiative designed to platform the narratives and voices of transgender communities, is one of the most notable examples. Other community-based projects include The Play Pad, a collaboration with a charter school that transformed an abandoned parking lot into a blacktop playground tied to the school’s curriculum.
