Our executive director Dr. Jeffreen Hayes spoke to the @nytimes about artist Augusta Savage and is quoted below. Savage provides a model for Threewalls and how to care for artists at the human level.
“I don’t think about Augusta Savage as someone who only made objects,” one curator said of the Harlem Renaissance sculptor, but rather as someone who “has really left behind a blueprint of what it means to be an artist that centers humanity.” https://t.co/OofioD3RG3
