Community Calendar

During the September and October, Second Chance - a Baltimore non-profit with a mission to Retrain, Reclaim, and Renew - is pleased to highlight Baltimore’s literary scene in their 250,000 sq. ft. retail warehouse.

Second Chance provides a living classroom through the “green” deconstruction of homes and buildings, reclaiming and renewing the materials through retails sales; and providing training and employment for those facing extreme vocational obstacles.

An added emphasis throughout 2022 is the promotion of “community”-the artisans and small business enterprises that are at the heart of what can make a community thrive. Enjoy discovering and interacting with our community while shopping at Second Chance and supporting our mission!

Selections from the 19th-Century European and North American Collection is an intimate display of 43 paintings and 12 sculptures installed on the first floor of the Centre Street building in the Special Exhibitions Gallery. Standouts from the Walters’ 19th-century European and North American collection will be grouped thematically to create new perspectives on much loved artworks. The seven themes include war and peace, fame, rural life, childhood, and music.

A number of visitor favorites will return to view, including Antoine-Louis Barye’s bronze Tom the Algerian Greyhound (ca. 1889), while Jacob-Emile-Edouard Brandon’s Portuguese Synagogue at Amsterdam (ca. 1867), which recently underwent extensive treatment in our paintings’ conservation studio, will be on display for the first time in decades. Works by artists with a Baltimore connection, such as the sculptors Edward Berge, William Henry Rinehart, and Hans Schuler, are also included, as well as the recent acquisition Child with Strawberries (ca. 1803–1805) by Black American artist Joshua Johnson.

In addition, the Walters’ two Faberge imperial Easter Eggs, and other jeweled objects from Carl Faberge’s workshop, are on display in the vestibule of the European Treasury galleries off the Sculpture Court, along with René Lalique’s Orchid Comb (ca. 1903–1904).

The Italian galleries of the Walters Art Museum bridge the past and the present in an exhibition that seeks to illustrate the connections between the Italian Renaissance and Baroque periods and contemporary art, each offering insights into the other. Activating the Renaissance features paintings, photography, and sculpture by six artists, the majority from the Baltimore area: Jessica Bastidas, Tawny Chatmon, Bernhard Hildebrandt, Murjoni Merriweather, Stephen Towns, and Ventiko. Their art is displayed alongside paintings and sculpture from the Walters collection by masters such as Jacopo Pontormo and Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. Joaneath Spicer, James A. Murnaghan, Curator of Renaissance and Baroque Art, selected the artists and artworks in the exhibition based on their ability to draw forward and reflect upon stylistic and thematic elements in both classic and contemporary work. The artworks are placed throughout the Italian Renaissance and Baroque galleries to show the techniques and stylistic elements that artists past and present use to share personal experience and portray their subjects. The Walters Italian paintings constitute one of the most significant holdings in the Americas and some of the most popular and well-known works in the museum. Activating the Renaissance is generously funded by supporters of the Walters Art Museum.

Paintings and drawings by the acclaimed Baltimore born artist, Herman Maril (1908 – 1986), will be on display, beginning May 1, on the Broadmead campus in the Community Center. The show, “HERMAN MARIL: The Strong Forms of Our Experience,” will draw on the rich collection of Maril’s work held by the Herman Maril Foundation in Provincetown, MA. It will be the first in an ongoing series of exhibitions in South hall, a newly renovated gallery space at Broadmead devoted to the visual arts. The exhibition will be open to the public daily from 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Parking is available for visitors in front of the Broadmead Community Center. Guests are asked to check in at the receptionist desk upon arrival for information about the show. Join us for a special lecture on Friday, May 13th at 2:00 p.m. featuring Christine McCarthy, Executive Director, Provincetown, MA Art Association and Museum. Christine will offer a special insight into the life and work of Herman Maril.

Do you remember Lorraine Hansberry’s searing A Raisin in the Sun, the now classic 1959
play about racial integration and “white flight” in Chicago? Have attitudes and realities
really changed over the last sixty-plus years? How does an ethical person deal with the
political, economic and moral baggage of our shared American experience?

Bruce Norris helps us explore the dilemma in his prize-winning 2010 drama Clybourne
Park. The first act takes us back to the 1950s, where Hansberry’s characters (and some new
ones) find that middle-class suburbia may not be the American dream they hoped for. Fifty
years later, Clybourne Park is changing again, as young professionals begin to gentrify the
established African-American community. Clybourne Park was awarded the 2011 Pulitzer
Prize for Drama and the 2012 Tony Award for Best Play.

Michael Whitehill, who brings his expected flair and innovative staging to the production,
directs Church Hill Theatre’s revival. With identity politics, the Black Lives Matter
movement, and other social issues dividing our country, Whitehill believes that while
Clybourne Park’s themes may sometimes be painful, the play is a powerful nudge to
reflection and constructive dialogue.

Intentionally linking the past and the now, Bruce Norris has the actors play different roles
in each act. The cast comprises Cynthia Bayne (Betsy/Lindsay), Simone Collins
(Francine/Lena), Anthony Daly (Kenneth), John Hodgson (Russ/Dan), Christine Kinlock
(Bev/Kathy), Gary Tucker (Albert/Kevin), Eddie Vance (Jim/Tom), and Frank Wirmusky
(Karl/Steve).

The production team includes Kathy Jones, Assistant Director; Steve Atkinson, Stage
Manager and photographer; Sylvia Maloney, Producer; Debra Ebersole, Costumes; Rachel
Gwin, Make-up and Hair; Doug Kaufmann, Light Design; and Tom Rhodes, Set Construction.

Clybourne Park opens on September 9 and runs through September 25, with performances
at 8 pm on Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 pm on Sundays. Please note that the subject matter may be difficult for younger audience members. Reservations may be made on the CHT website:
http://www.churchhilltheatre.org or by phone at 410-556-6003.

Thomas Søndergård, conductor
Thomas Hampson, baritone

Strauss ascends past waterfalls and glaciers to reach wondrous peaks of sonic rapture in An Alpine Symphony, a feat achieved by history’s greatest tone painter with the combined efforts of a colossal orchestra. Mahler’s Songs of a Wayfarer delight in the fresh bloom of new love, delivered with the richness and emotional intensity that Thomas Hampson has cultivated through a career-spanning Mahler obsession. In his Ballade, Coleridge-Taylor presents a stirring impression of the American folkloric landscape.

This concert also takes place Sat., Sep 24 at 8 pm at The Music Center at Strathmore in North Bethesda, MD.

Based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme, Jonathan Larson's Rent follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York's Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. “ArtsCentric’s Rent will be highly immersive”, says Kevin S. McAllister. “It will honor the shows beloved characters and their friendships and will also define how humanity can make the most of the here and now while also pausing to relish in our most glorious life’s moments.

Rent contains mature thematic material involving drug use, sexuality and sex acts (no nudity), illness/death and some language. Parental discretion is advised. Recommended for teens and adults.
