Opening Reception: As We Move Forward, an Exhibition at Augusta Savage Gallery


                         

On Tuesday, February 27 from 5 to 7 p.m., Augusta Savage Gallery will host a public reception for their spring exhibition, As We Move Forward, curated by Juana Valdes and Nhadya Lawes. The reception is free and open to the public.

As We Move Forward honors the work and legacy of American sculptor and educator Augusta Savage (1892-1962), who paved the way for future generations of Black artists. Co curators Juana Valdes and Nhadya Lawes have chosen the works of seventeen Black, Latinx, and Afro- Indigenous women artists from Savage’s home state of Florida. The exhibition combines printmaking, photography, sculpture, architecture, ceramics, and other mixed media to create a space of celebration and growth for these emerging artists
