Genesis is dedicated to creating an open and affirming environment for all artists. We exist to provide support and visibility for our local creative communities, and actively seek to develop diverse networks of makers and thought leaders for a better, more equitable Milwaukee.

Genesis is a project developed in 2018, by artist and curator Randy R Brown, out of the desire to create a platform that elevated the art and cultural output of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ creatives. Genesis was established to hold space for experimentation and exchange, while providing experiences distinct from the conventions of the traditional gallery model.

Due to the onset of COVID-19, Genesis has taken a hiatus from facilitating events and activations. We have since directed our efforts and resources to endeavors that explore alternative modes of creation.
