You are invited to IMET’s Open House on Saturday, May 2, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.

This family-friendly event is a chance to experience IMET’s research up close through hands-on science activities, conversations with scientists, and interactive demonstrations exploring marine science in the harbor and throughout the Chesapeake Bay. We hope you will join us and help spread the word within your networks.

Guests will also enjoy The Ocean Is Aware: A Suite For Creative Musicians by CIRCA-IMET Artist-in-Residence Matt Belzer. This performance explores how sea life interacts with its environment, their perception of time, and their awareness of humans and each other through jazz, Afro-Cuban music, and funk. 

Additional activities include hands-on experiences with research tools like microscopes and pipettes, opportunities to meet marine scientists, community partners, food trucks, a photo area, and, for the first time, an IMET raffle.

On View February 4 - May 16 (closed March 15 - 22)

This collection of paintings—spanning the 1940s to the 1980s— reflects and reframes the cultural, political, and emotional realities of Bangdel’s time and traces his evolving vision as he navigated multiple worlds: colonial and postcolonial South Asia, cosmopolitan Europe, and an emerging modern Nepal.

After four decades of featured background singing with icons like Luther Vandross, The Rolling Stones, Chaka Khan, Tina Turner, and Nine Inch Nails, MS. LISA FISCHER set out to take center stage with her own humble, heartfelt song. The 2013 Best Documentary Oscar winning film “Twenty Feet from Stardom” altered the course of Lisa’s musical journey, telling her story, with clips of her legendary duets with Sting or with Mick Jagger on “Gimme Shelter”, left audiences eager to see and hear more, so Lisa took the chance to set out on her own reinventing classic songs with her co-conspirators JC Maillard and Grand Baton. Their organic fusion of Caribbean psychedelic soul and jazzy progressive rock ignited Lisa’s flexibility and freedom of expression, awakening her lifelong desire to make music that heals but still rocks the house.

While Lisa’s range is legendary, her greatest gift is the ability to connect, to reach the hearts of her listeners. Raised in the Fort Greene neighborhood of Brooklyn, she emerged from New York’s fervent studio scene in the early 1980s, sang for two decades with legendary vocalist Luther Vandross, and released “So Intense”, earning her first Best R&B Performance Grammy with “How Can I Ease The Pain”. She joined the Rolling Stones for their 1989 Steel Wheels tour, and continued to grace their stage for the next 26 years. Lisa’s passion for constant growth and experimentation with different styles invited recent collaborations with jazz pianist Taylor Eigsti, Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Michael McDonald, Eric Krasno, Talib Kweli, Billy Childs and YoYo Ma, the BBC Proms / Jules Buckley and the Metropole Orkest, Alonzo King LINES Ballet, Anna Deavere Smith’s “Notes from the Field” for HBO, and especially her full evening program The Classic Lisa Fischer with Grand Baton and Seattle Symphony, Cincinnati Symphony and the National Philharmonic.

Keystone Kards are not applicable for this show.
