From the 1960s to the 2020s, Baltimore philanthropists Sigmund and Mary Hyman assembled a major collection of American art, with a particular focus on modernists of the Ashcan School. In partnership with BMA curators, the Hymans gifted a carefully selected group of important works to the Museum—a gift completed in 2024 following the passing of Mary Hyman, a longtime Trustee.

Featuring paintings, sculptures, works on paper, and a textile, Seeing the Essential: The Sigmund M. and Mary B. Hyman Collection of American Art explores defining themes of the Ashcan movement, including urban life, architecture, interiors, the figure, and portrayals of artists and performers. The exhibition also highlights an exceptional group of works by John Sloan, a leading figure of the movement.

THE HEIDI CHRONICLES Continues Vagabond Players’ 110th Season
Apr. 10 – May 3, 2026
Before hashtags and headlines, there was Heidi—searching for connection, purpose and a place in a rapidly changing world. This spring, Vagabond Players brings Wendy Wasserstein’s THE HEIDI CHRONICLES to the stage, directed by Lee Conderacci in her Vagabond Players debut.
In this sparkling and oh so relevant comedy, art historian Heidi Holland and her friends travel from the 1960s through the 1980s making life-changing choices relating to dating, mating and career paths. Will the brilliant and perceptive Heidi find the partner of her dreams? Do “women’s libbers” consider Heidi’s decision about having a child to be a betrayal? Can Heidi attain the fulfillment that she—and millions of other women—fought for? Winner of both the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, The Heidi Chronicles remains a sharp, insightful and deeply relatable look at friendship, feminism and the search for meaning and continues to serve as a reminder of what’s been accomplished and how much remains to be achieved.
THE HEIDI CHRONICLES runs April 10 – May 3, 2026, with performances Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. And check out a special “Thursdays on Broadway” performance April 30 at 8 p.m. when all tickets are just $12.

The Towson University Symphony Orchestra presents its year-end concert, showcasing an exceptional program that bridges contemporary composition with classical masterworks. The evening will open with a newly-arranged composition by distinguished TU Professor Jonathan Leshnoff, whose orchestral works have garnered national acclaim. The concert will also spotlight the winner of the 2025 TU Concerto Competition, offering the opportunity to hear one of the university's most talented student soloists perform with the full orchestra.

The program will culminate in a performance of Ludwig van Beethoven's monumental Symphony No. 3 in E-flat major, Op. 55, "Eroica." This revolutionary work, which marked a turning point in symphonic writing, stands as one of the most influential compositions in the classical repertoire. With its bold harmonic language, expansive structure, and heroic character, the "Eroica" promises to deliver a powerful and unforgettable conclusion to the orchestra's season.

Join us for an evening of extraordinary music-making that celebrates both the creative voices of today and the enduring genius of the past.

One of the great voices of our time, KEITH WASHINGTON will elevate our stage for one special evening celebrating Mother's Day at Keystone Korner Baltimore on Sunday, May 10th!

Washington made his official debut in 1991 with Make Time For Love, which went straight to the top of Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and spawned the massive hit “Kissing You, ”which won him a 1992 Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Single, Male. “If You Were With Me Now,” a duet with Australian singer Kylie Minogue, was also featured on the album and reached an impressive Number 4 on the UK Singles Chart.

Dynamic Conference Brings Together Professionals from Various Disciplines to Discuss Abuse Prevention and Mental Wellness
Inaugural Collective Conversations: Setting Hope in Motion…a Catalyst for Change

Connection, meaningful dialogue, shared purpose, and bold ideas are at the core of Collective Conversations: Setting Hope in Motion, a two-day conference taking place May 11–12, 2026, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Center Club in Baltimore. Co-hosted by Change the Conversation and Springboard Community Services, this innovative gathering will open with remarks from Baltimore City Council President Zeke Cohen, a committed advocate for violence reduction. The conference brings together professionals across mental health, public health, education, legal services, and community-based organizations to strengthen collaboration around abuse prevention and mental wellness. Designed to spark practical strategies, cross-sector partnerships, and shared learning, the conference aims to equip attendees with tools to better support individuals and families throughout the region. Registration for the full two-day experience is $375, and includes CEUs for many professions. Additional details are available at Collective Conversations: Setting Hope in Motion.

Katie Cashman, Executive Director of Change the Conversation, shared “We think the diversity of perspectives—and the chance to learn directly from people in different roles—is what makes this conference different.” A highlight of the program is keynote speaker Erin Merryn, internationally recognized author, speaker, and leading advocate for child abuse prevention. Merryn will share her personal journey as a survivor and how breaking her silence led to the publication of Stolen Innocence and four subsequent books. In 2013, she championed the passage of Erin’s Law in Illinois, requiring annual personal body safety education in public schools—an effort she continues to advance nationwide. Since 2004, her advocacy has been featured across national television, magazines, and newspapers, earning her honors such as Glamour Magazine’s Woman of the Year and recognition by People Magazine as one of fifteen women changing the world.

The conference will also feature Dr. Wendy Ellis, Assistant Professor of Global Health and Director of the Center for Community Resilience at the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University. Dr. Ellis leads national efforts to improve community health by aligning policy, programs, and practice to address adverse childhood experiences within the broader context of community adversity. Her work has driven meaningful systems and policy change by confronting long-standing economic, social, and health disparities through community partnership, integrated service delivery and building of political will for change. F.T. Burden, CEO of Springboard Community Services, emphasized: “These speakers represent both the lived experience that drives our collective work forward, and the research-backed strategies that help us get there.”

Additional themes carried out as part of the break-out sessions include “Building Shared Understanding,” “Working Across Systems,” “Justice, Voice and Emotional Resilience,” “Applied Skills for Trauma-Responsive Work,” and “Innovation, Prevention, and Systems Change,” among others.

The Senior show features students’ works that represent the various tracks, including painting, sculpture, graphic design, illustration, crafts, metalworking/jewelry, ceramics, digital art and design, photography, and printmaking.
