Five Dolla Cam is a collective formed by Saint Louis natives Malik Fabian-Mahmud and Ryan Gipson II. With the initiative of sharing resources and fostering community for emerging marginalized artists in the city, Five Dolla Cam has curated a range of public programming engaging with hundreds of community members since 2022.
From workshops making institutional resources accessible, to art exhibitions offering a space to develop craft and engage in creative exploration. These programs not only give access to artistic opportunities but also foster a growing network where people can connect, collaborate, and build in a supportive community.
