How the Gallery's Business Model is Working for Local Artists and Buyers Alike
The numbers prove that co-owners Kristin Wiebe and Sonny Lacey are doing something right. Since opening, they have shown 41 artists, and in six and a half years, they have paid out $414,000—an average of over $7000 per painter.
Flashback is the first major museum exhibition devoted solely to Baltimore photography. And through an admixture of very old and very recent images, it makes a convincing case that Baltimore has always played an active role in shaping the history of a vital medium.
