About US

Curators of Black Excellence (C.O.B.E.) is a collective of educators, artists and business leaders with a passion for providing the community with safe, family friendly gathering opportunities.

We are Curators of Black Excellence

Since 2018, we’ve been on a mission to educate, empower and entertain
