The Annual Augusta Black History Exhibition is an exlporation into Augusta, GA’s rich past through a series of restored and enlarged photographs that bring historic moments, individuals and architecural landscapes back to life. The Mayoral Collection of Augusta Black History was a project developed in 2021 by former Augusta Mayor Hardie Davis Jr. along with the Lucy Craft Laney Museum in partnership with the Greater Augusta Arts Council to honor the lives of some of our most memorable, local icons during Black History Month.
In 2022, City Gallery Director Heather Dunaway decided to pair a local artists with the exhibit to further showcase all that Augusta has to offer.

Jones, and Salonika Rhyne. Whos featured projects are on view for 2026.
