“BlackArc, LLC is a multi-scalar design agency focusing on racial, economic, and social equity as a catalyst for community design. The goal is to immerse the practice in spaces not typically visited by architects and designers to help to bridge the gap between communities, placemakers, and designers. These spaces include community organizations, boards, community building networks, neighborhood associations, non-profits, etc.
BlackArc combines practice and research in an effort to improve the processes designers use to communicate with community organizations as well as engage with community design.”
