BlkBoxNwk is an art gallery and performance space located within The Gant-Gilbert Arts Collective, 505 Clinton Ave, Newark, NJ.  We are honored and excited to give you a brief overview of our community based vision for the arts

BlkBoxNwk is managed and programmed by Creative Artists Gaining Empowerment, LLC. From our first event, The People’s Open Mic at The Coffee Cave in 2008, to our last event featuring DJ Ian Friday at The CAGE in 2017, we established a niche of providing an affordable, accessible and high volume venue for artists to express themselves while showcasing, testing and refining their respective craft.

Today at BlkBoxNwk, we are providing an interactive system of support for our artist community that adapts with the outside factors that effect constructive output from the working artist. 

As a collaborating member in our community, we owe the success of our business model to the strategic partnerships that we have formed with like-minded visionaries in the NY/NJ arts community.  These relationships have been crucial in providing  us a foot in the door and enhanced credibility with the various sub-cultures that we seek to empower through exposure and artist education.  You will learn more about our fluid initiatives as you continue to follow our progress through our website, blog and event postings.
