Though the world of art is composed of a multitude of artists from all walks of life, museums for the most part focus on works created by White artists. Growing up, Kimberly Drew visited many museums with her father, but rarely came across creative works from African-American artists. Through her first years of college she struggled with finding a major that appealed to her. It wasn't until she worked as a paid intern in a museum that she discovered her true passion.

As she gained experience and was entrusted with more responsibilities, Kimberly worked hard to ensure that museums were more reflective of the people around them, more open to all of the people of the community they serve, and more welcoming of everyone. She started a movement to encourage the presence of more artists and through her blog, which she started while in college, she showcases African-American artists and the important art they are creating. 

A cry to action,  This is What I Know About Art summarizes what is wrong with todays art world and what can be done to fix it.
