Augusta Savage Gallery
Augusta Savage Gallery, located in New Africa House at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, is a multicultural and multiarts facility. Named in honor of renowned sculptor Augusta Savage, the gallery was founded in 1970 by the W.E.B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies. Its mission is to promote artistic works from a broad spectrum of cultures. Exhibitions are selected for their aesthetic integrity and their ability to enlighten the viewer on such issues as race, ethnicity, class, and cultural identity.
Reserved Passages: Watercolors by Susan Montgomery and Richard Yarde
November 14 – February 26
Closed for winter break December 10 – January 29
Reserved Passages celebrates Richard Yarde’s exceptional legacy in watercolor and connects his artistic vision to the work of his former graduate student Susan Montgomery. A meditation on a shared passion for watercolor, the exhibition reaches beyond the medium itself. It reflects on the genuine dialogue, exchange of knowledge, and relationship between a teacher and student.
