WE'RE HEADED TO ESSENCE FESTIVAL 2026! 🎨✨
Some dreams take years of showing up, doing the work, and trusting the process.
I'm beyond excited to share that Brushed Studios has officially been selected as a vendor at the world-renowned ESSENCE Festival of Culture in New Orleans for the very first time!
📍 Find us in the coveted We Love Us Market
📅 July 3–5, 2026
📍 New Orleans, Louisiana
For years, I've attended Essence in different capacities—sometimes as a guest, sometimes participating in events around the city, soaking in the culture, inspiration, and energy that make this festival so special. To now be attending as an official vendor feels like a full-circle moment.
My team and I are working around the clock preparing for this opportunity. We're bringing:
🖼️ Brand-new original artwork
✨ Exclusive fine art prints
🛍️ New merchandise and collectibles
🎨 Fan favorites and a few surprises
Every event, every collector, every conversation, and every purchase has helped us continue to grow this business, expand our vision, and evolve as artists. Thank you for being part of this journey.

It's go time. 🚀🎨💜
