At MOCA Arlington, Marissa Stratton creates a dialogue that feels both familiar and estranging, as if one is scrolling through memories materialized on physical surfaces.

This week's news includes: MDFF receives $20k in grant funding from the NEA, Ira Glass's magical Baltimore memories, new acquisitions at the BMA, the ghost of H.L. Menken, the BSO hits a high note, daring to dream with Lady Brion, breaking creative barriers with Amy L. Bernstein, and more!

A new photo book, Scene Seen, weaves together 85 bands, over 200 portraits, and 300 pages into a tribute to Baltimore’s creative resilience, documenting the essence of the music scene from 2016 to 2024. 

SCENE SEEN at Greedy Reads and Bird in Hand, VIVA Books donation drive, Slavery in Motion at the BMA, Rapid Lemon's Variation Project, Baker Artist Portfolios closing reception at The Peale, and MLK Day celebrations - and calls for entry!
