Matchbook Marketing, a student-run marketing agency at the University of Missouri, is thrilled to announce the return of Black Alchemy, an annual event celebrating the incredible work of local Black artists. The event will be held at Serendipity Salon & Art Gallery in Columbia, Missouri.

Black Alchemy aims to empower and inspire by providing a platform for Mizzou’s Black creatives to showcase their talent. It also fosters relationships between various Mizzou organizations and strengthens community bonds. Matchbook Marketing is collaborating with Mizzou Black Creatives, a student-run organization that supports Black artists on campus, to bring this impactful event to life.

The theme of this year’s event, From the Heart, illustrates the deep personal connection and powerful storytelling embedded in each piece of art displayed. Black Alchemy invites attendees to engage with and experience a diverse range of art forms, all showcasing the unique experiences and perspectives of Black artists in Columbia and beyond. Black Alchemy is more than just an event; it’s a testament to the importance of amplifying underrepresented voices and fostering a culture of support for creatives of all backgrounds. The event is free and open to the public, and everyone is encouraged to attend, celebrate the artists, and support their work.
