Build It Black

Supporting Black-Owned Businesses cannot only be accomplished in a day. The Black Bazaar will be a platform of continuous support in the form of Revitalize Black Chicago events through out the year, and activities specifically offered to Black Bazaar participants supported by Village606. Those classes and seminars will be part of our Build it Black Academy, affectionately known as The Build. You’ll find this year’s offerings below.
