Never heard of this. Maybe I'll get some stuff ready just in case they try again

There were a couple of Hebrews and Italians in there

How do they know everyone else is white?

What the fuck? They cancelled it just because all of the artists who were in there were white? I don't get that.

It was probably just a coincidence that most of the artists were white? I highly doubt they were discouraging any other races from displaying their work.

I would of loved to have seen this :/

I have no idea.

Dumb idea for a art show. Even dumber excuse to cancel it.

from the link provide:

A show at Somerville’s Washington Street gallery titled “Dig If U Will a Picture,” featuring “illustration, photos, paintings, mixed media, quilts, embroidery, and silkscreened prints” inspired by Minneapolis’ funkiest son, has been canceled. The gallery offered this explanation on its calendar:

After much consideration, we have decided to cancel the Prince-themed show scheduled for June 2015. In light of recent discussions, clearly a show of all white artists does not do justice to the subject, and we would be unable to reorganize the show in a truly inclusive way in the short time remaining before the scheduled opening. We are grateful for dialogue around these issues and hope to revisit this show in the future when we are able to present it with a more diverse representation of artists.

TL;DR for prince: "sex crazed midget from the '80s"

Sums him up for the non-fans I guess

'lack of interest' would be less dramatic i suppose.

Cancelled because the artists were all white? I don't agree with that at all..
