The Augusta Savage Gallery at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has announced a call for entries for a juried digital art exhibition entitled “Breathing While Black.” The online exhibit will run from Sept. 1 – Nov. 30. Deadline for submissions is July 15. All artists are encouraged to apply.

This exhibition is a much-needed response to the recent killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arberry, and Breonna Taylor by police, and subsequent protests and unrest. In the midst of frustration and fear surrounding Covid-19, and deeply divided sentiments about the upcoming presidential elections, these murders mark torrid times in history. Augusta Savage Gallery hopes that through their work artists might serve to highlight perspectives, question assumptions, and encourage action.
