Baltimore Arts

We’ll go On the Record to focus on dance as a celebration of Black History Month … and how African Americans have shaped the discipline. Have you Heard of Baltimore-born tap master Baby Laurence? How about Hiplet or Sole Defined? We get a preview!

We’ll go On the Record to learn about the exhibit ‘Life On Hold’ at NDMU's Gormley Gallery. Women at the Maryland Correctional Institution in Jessup created paintings and collages ... the resulting images challenge stereotypes and provide a path toward healing.

Going through violence and trauma can affect people on a cellular level. There’s a nonprofit that helps Black women and youth release trauma and get beyond it - through movement and dance. We talk with Tyde-Courtney Edwards, who drew from her personal experience to create ‘Ballet After Dark.’

Can a former funeral home get a second lease on LIFE? We talk with the curator of Memento Mori, first exhibit at ‘The Parlor’ -- the new gallery and speakeasy! -- in Baltimore’s Station North Arts District. The show explores mortality and memory.

We go On the Record with the curator of the Baltimore Museum of Art’s new exhibit about Legacies of the Great Migration; and with two of the dozen artists who probe their family histories to show the impact of the movement of six million African Americans.

Cooler weather and a bigger footprint are planned for next year’s Artscape.

We’ll go On the Record with Nancy Proctor, head of the Peale: She talks about its multi-million dollar renovation, … interesting happenings coming up, …. and what’s behind the moniker “Baltimore’s Community Museum.

We’ll go On the Record with Jenenne Whitfield, the new director of the American Visionary Art Museum, to hear what she has in store. Plus curator GAGE BRANDA describes the many delights of the new exhibit ‘ABUNDANCE: Too Much, Too Little, Just Right.’

Artist Ada Pinkston talks about her childhood and travels all over the country, what influenced her move to Baltimore and why she stayed, advice for would-be grant applicants, and much more!

Making a living from making art can be risky. The new exhibit -- “Fullfillment” -- at the Baltimore Jewelry Center draws on the sculptural jeweler Andy Lowrie’s drive to create … and the pressure to earn. The results are captivating.
