Our Mission
Blue Leaf International Arts Foundation was founded in 2019 as a 501.3c tax-exempt nonprofit art foundation dedicated to the dream that people of all nationalities would see this as an opportunity to learn more about the great contributions of African-American artist to this nation and to the world . With the evolution of cultural consciousness of the African-American experience, we advocate for artists and collectors as an art-exchange that focuses on the cultural legacy of African American Artists to improve the quality of life in our global-community as a commitment to historical reverence for our legacy in the global community through the international language of art in all disciplines.
Your support will enable Blue Leaf International Arts to expand the digital and exhibition presence of artist that often go unnoticed in the tradition aren, thus the blue leaf that grows on a rare plant.

Mary Dillard is fondly remembered as a Mother of the Community.
Her talent for working with families, and especially the elders and children, teachers and administration alike would often often bring nutrition, and interpersonal engagement skills through creativity, with overall dynamics of health and wellness that synergized her community. Mary furthered her education through the Clemson Extention programs and retired from Greenville Parks and Recreation.
Mary loved ancestry and oral history, the art of words, fine arts, theater, crafting, food, fashion, and her religion. She was forever
willing to teach and learn, lend a helping hand, and try to understand.
