Five Dolla Cam is a collective formed by St. Louis natives Malik Fabian-Mahmud (@fabmud) and Ryan Gipson (@ryangipsonii). Dedicated to uplifting young Black and Brown artists in St. Louis, the organization curates events such as art galleries for artists who have never been exhibited and figure drawing sessions for those without institutional resources, offering them a space to develop their craft and engage in creative exploration. These initiatives not only provide access to artistic opportunities but also foster a growing network where emerging artists can connect, collaborate, and build a supportive community.
