Sadie Barnette is an artist working in a wide variety of visual outputs, often all at once. She was born and raised in Oakland, California and holds a BFA from CalArts and an MFA from UC San Diego.

Barnette has presented solo exhibitions at venues such as The Kitchen in New York City, ICA Los Angeles, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Walker Art Center, MCA San Diego, The San José Museum of Art, and The Museum of the African Diaspora in San Francisco. Her work is in permanent collections including Brooklyn Museum, Guggenheim, LACMA, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Oakland Museum, Studio Museum in Harlem, The Walker, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Barnette has been an artist-in-residence at the Studio Museum in Harlem, Headlands Center for the Arts, Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, and UC Berkeley’s Black Studies Collaboratory, and has been awarded grants from the United States Artists Fellowship, Artadia, Art Matters, and Fleishhacker Foundation.
