AMA ART LOVERS BOOK CLUB
RESCHEDULED

Albany Museum of Art | 6 pm |Tuesday, March 16, 2021

PictureAugusta Savage
The AMA Art Lovers Book Club will meet at 6 pm on Tuesday, March 16, 2021 at the Albany Museum of Art to discuss GRAVEN IMAGES: The Tumultuous Life and Times of Augusta Savage, Harlem Renaissance Sculptor, a biography by Gail Tanzer. (This is rescheduled from the original meeting date of Jan 19.)

The biography looks at the life of Savage (1892-1962), an American sculptor and teacher who was associated with the Harlem Renaissance. A tireless worker for equal rights in the arts for African Americans, her studio influenced a generation of nationally famous artists.

With most of her work in clay and plaster, Savage endured the economic setbacks of the Great Depression. During the World War II era, she moved to Saugerties, N.Y., where she wrote children’s stories and taught children’s art classes. The locations of much of her work are unknown, but her most famous piece, a bust titled Gamin, is on permanent display in the Smithsonian American Art Museum. 
  
Because of concerns for the health of our guests and staff, the AMA is following guidance from local, state and federal health officials in regard to activities conducted at the museum. Space is limited to a maximum of 10 participants at the book club meeting. Guests entering the AMA are asked to wear masks to protect others, and to allow at least six feet of space between them and anyone who is not in their party.

Email AMA Education & Public Programming Director Annie Vanoteghem HERE to reserve a spot so that you can share your thoughts on this popular novel while enjoying the company of fellow book lovers in a safe environment. You may also contact Vanoteghem by calling 229.439.8400.

AMA Art Lovers Book Club meetings, in its second season, are set for every two months so that club members have plenty of time to obtain and read the books before each session. 

Upcoming meetings dates are:​
  • May 18, 2021: Loving Frank by Nancy Horan.

Suggestions for books for the third series that starts on May 18, 2020 will be discussed at the March 16 meeting.
