An individual who has clearly redefined “success” as an artist is African-Canadian Robert Small.
At the age of sixteen, Small had his artwork published in a city-wide newspaper. Ever since then, Small has developed his artwork and become the most popular Canadian artist of the past decade.
While others pondered how to garner interest in Black History Month, Small created that which would become an annual tradition being The Official Black History Month Poster in 1995.
This poster and Small’s regular exposure in the media would change how artists looked at their work and their ability to reach a broader market. Small was the first African-Canadian artist in history to appear on mainstream media outlets such as Muchmusic, TSN, CBC Radio. He has also been prominently featured in The Toronto Star an unprecedented four times. Small is also the first African-Canadian artist to appear on the front cover of local newspaper “24”.
Small is also solely responsible for the first defined national campaign for Black history Month when the Bank of Montreal posted a copy of his most recent poster LEGACY in all of their branches across Canada. Small is presently celebrating the 20th year of creating this annual poster series now called LEGACY.
