ARTE NOIR CELEBRATES 3RD ANNIVERSARY WITH GREEN BOOK GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP THAT SUPPORTS AND HONORS BLACK ARTISTS
At the intersection of travel and culture, these two Black-led organizations are joining forces to support Black artists, culture, and communities. Green Book Global, the first and only Black travel review mobile app, has partnered with ARTE NOIR, a nonprofit celebrating and supporting Black arts and culture.
Through this partnership, Green Book Global will allocate a portion of its mission-driven revenue to support ARTE NOIR’s initiatives, turning everyday travel into a way to sustain Black culture and uplift local creatives.
“The arts preserve history, inspire future generations, and provide healing,” said Lawrence Phillips, Founder and CEO of Green Book Global. “Supporting organizations like ARTE NOIR protects and uplifts Black artists while making travel safer and more empowering.”
ARTE NOIR Executive Director, Jazmyn Scott, added, “Art within under-documented communities is vital for transmitting history and connecting people. This partnership elevates Black art and culture while giving our supporters tools to travel with confidence.”
ARTE NOIR members can join a dedicated group in the Green Book Global app to connect with fellow travelers. When members book trips through partners like Expedia, Hotels.com, or Marriott via the app, Green Book Global earns commission-based revenue. Each quarter, a portion of earned revenue is allocated to support ARTE NOIR’s initiatives. Travelers who become Platinum Green Book Holders also help contribute to this collective impact.

Located in Seattle’s historic Central District, shaped by Southern migration, ARTE NOIR preserves culture and history. Founder Vivian Phillips said, “My parents migrated to Seattle in the 1950s. Safety and affordability were key. This partnership preserves the legacy of families like mine while highlighting ARTE NOIR’s historic location where Black artists once thrived.”
Together, ARTE NOIR and Green Book Global demonstrate the power of Black-led businesses and nonprofits creating sustainable impact, honoring history, and building new travel experiences.
