Baltimore Clayworks is delighted to present the 2024-25 EMBARC Fellow Exhibition, featuring the thought-provoking work of Kashima Robinson. This exhibition highlights Kashima’s exploration of non-functional sculptural ceramic forms, where mosaics, tiles, and intricate containers reflect themes of self-discovery and transformation. Their work invites viewers to engage with moments of transition and ambiguity, challenging perceptions and offering insight into the spaces between defined forms.

A stunning exhibition of monumental paintings and works on paper, breathtaking films, and poignant child-size sculptures by artists exploring questions of history, power, climate change, and social and environmental justice.

Jessie and Bethany are Doctor of Social Work (DSW) students from the University of Kentucky and social work practicum faculty members from their respective institutions. Their presentation will integrate theory, research, and practice by applying a multi-theoretical approach to the continuum of social work supervision, including practicum and licensure supervision. Participants will learn how a relational framework fosters an inclusive learning environment that encourages critical dialogue, self-awareness, and reflexivity, ultimately leading to a deeper understanding of power, privilege, and structural inequities within the supervisory triad.

Mindfulness Meditation + Sports & Positive Psychology + Neuroscience + Group Coaching = mPEAK

mPEAK (Mindfulness, Performance Enhancement, Awareness & Knowledge) is a mindfulness training program for anyone seeking to achieve personal and professional goals, as well as attain new levels of performance and success. This cutting-edge training program is built around the latest brain research related to peak performance, resilience, focus, and “flow”.

The mPEAK program enhances the human capacity of mindfulness through established and empirically supported practices and exercises. Mindfulness is effective precisely because it is a way of being and relating to all aspects of life, rather than a specific technique or tool for a particular goal. As with physical training, this brain training program is based upon the understanding that optimal outcomes occur most often when participants continue to engage in the practices and exercises on a daily basis as a part of their training regimen.

This program was specially designed for athletes, first responders, leaders, entrepreneurs, executives, musicians, dancers, and busy professionals or parents who set big goals, face consistent challenges and stretch themselves towards excellence. mPEAK is appropriate for beginner and seasoned mindfulness practitioners alike. Previous meditation experience is not necessary to participate, but can facilitate a deeper learning experience.
