Adewale Agboola is an astounding photographer with
many Fortune 500 clients. As a Black man he is
in a minority in that profession. Only about 5% of professional
photographers are Black. He is also a minority in his hometown of
Portland, Oregon. Only about 13% of the population in Portland is
Black.
But he and his partner, Cyrus Coleman, another successful artist
who also lives in Portland, started hatching a plan to create a
small art gallery/meeting space aimed at people just like
them. Last year, they closed on a 20,000 sf building in
downtown Portland, not so small at all, and have some big plans to
turn it into a creative hub, catering to BIPOC creatives. They call
themselves the Creative Homies.
