David B. Smith Gallery

A Message from the Gallery

Our hearts are heavy from the irreplaceable losses of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others who have been denied their lives and liberty due to the legacy of systemic racism that traces back to the founding of our Nation.

We stand in support of a transformative societal shift. We are here to listen. We are here to support.

While we want to celebrate this exhibition, we believe that there are urgent causes in the present historical moment that demand immediate action. That is why on Saturday, June 13th, rather than proceed with our scheduled opening reception, we will close the gallery and take to the streets in protest. We ask you to join us in protest and/or anti-racist action in your city.
