About Us

Peoria Guild of Black Artists (PGOBA) is a group of Black creatives from within the Peoria, IL community. Our mission is to bring the Black creative community together, uplift one another, advocate and provide a platform for Black folk in the Peoria arts community. We strive to provide resources and educational materials to our community in an accessible manner.

This mission is so important to our organization that we have created a manifesto to follow as a way to support our organization and our community.
