MASKERade Baltimore
ongoing through November 13
presented by Maryland Art Place

The LGBTQ Fund at BCF and Maryland Art Place proudly present MASKerade Baltimore – a virtual silent auction and mask design competition to raise awareness and funds for issues facing the LGBTQ community in Baltimore. Since launching in 2018, The LGBTQ Fund at BCF has awarded nearly $100,000 to organizations fighting discrimination, providing health services, producing arts and culture events and supporting LGBTQ youth with anti-bullying and suicide prevention programs.

Proceeds from MASKerade will be split 40:60 between local artists who have lost income during the economic downturn and The LGBTQ Fund to ensure that support for vital programs continues. This support is needed more than ever since the COVID-19 pandemic is hitting marginalized groups especially hard. LGBTQ individuals are at greater risk for contracting the virus due to compromised immune systems; may be suffering increased mental health challenges due to isolation; and may be forced into unsafe situations, such as living with unsupportive family members or partners due to unemployment or illness. Additionally, Black Lives Matter protests have spotlighted violence against gay and trans people of color which must be addressed.

 

 

This is Who I Am Now: A Solo Presentation by Amber Eve Anderson
ongoing through November 28
@ Hamiltonian Arts

Washington, DC: Hamiltonian Artists presents This is Who I Am Now, Amber Eve Anderson’s first solo exhibition with Hamiltonian Artists. It will be on view by appointment only from October 31 – November 28 at H Space, 1932 9th Street NW, #C102 (Enter from 9 1/2 Street), Washington, DC 20001. All public programs will take place online.

This is Who I Am Now is an archive of every advertisement that Anderson viewed on Instagram over a one-week period. Composed of 126 images that almost exclusively depict household goods, the archive presents a portrait of the artist through the lens of targeted advertising. The exhibition vacillates between physical and digital worlds, combining images and found objects through installation and video, functioning as a case study in the aspirational. Objects ranging from rugs to sofas to earrings to soap portrayed amidst orderly, plant-filled, sun-dappled rooms, suggest affluence, aesthetic integrity, and a good night of sleep. Anderson highlights the way one’s surroundings, whether virtual, manmade, or natural, come to shape one’s identity and behavior. By bringing representations of social media into physical space, the work calls attention to everyday technologies by upsetting the usual means of interaction. Her work functions as a playful, funny, and poetic critique in order to explore how identity is reduced by consumerism.

Amber Eve Anderson (b. 1982) lives and works in Baltimore. She received an MFA from the Mount Royal School of Art multidisciplinary program at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in 2016 and a BFA from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2005. Her work has been exhibited in group shows across the US as well as in Canada, Finland, Morocco, and Peru. In 2019 she received an Individual Artist Award in Media from the Maryland State Arts Council. She was a 2019 and 2020 Trawick Prize Semi-finalist and a 2016 Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance Baker Artist Award Finalist. Her work has been featured in Bmore Art Magazine, Hyperallergic, and The Creator’s Project. She volunteers on the Advisory Board of the Institute of Contemporary Art Baltimore.

Authenticity with Aaron Henkin and Wendel Patrick
Thursday, November 12 • 12-1:30pm
presented by Maryland Center for History and Culture

WYPR’s Aaron Henkin and Wendel Patrick will headline the Maryland Center for History and Culture’s next Core Conversation on November 12 at noon ET. During the third virtual program in the four-part series, Henkin and Patrick, creators of WYPR’s Out of the Blocks, will explore the theme of authenticity.

“This conversation with Aaron and Wendel – who have been able to tell the stories of everyday Baltimoreans in such a compelling manner – will help participants develop an understanding of what we think is one of the primary roles of museums and cultural institutions,” said Mark Letzer, president and CEO, the Maryland Center for History and Culture. “We’ll explore what it means to be authentic, how authenticity plays a role in the way we collect objects as well as in how we and Aaron and Wendel tell stories.”

Aaron and Wendel’s Out of the Blocks series has taken the pair all over Baltimore City, where they go to a block, and make it their mission to meet and interview everyone there. Based on the theory that everyone has a story to share, they have produced countless programs proving exactly that.

“Their mission for storytelling is very translatable to what we do with historic objects and art here at the Maryland Center for History and Culture,” Letzer added. “We want our visitors to take that leap into the story of each painting, garment and object with us.”

The Maryland Center for History and Culture reopened in September with a new brand identity. The Core Conversation Series was created to explore the institution’s core values – Community, Authenticity, Dialogue and Discovery. Previous programs have featured Librarian of Congress, Carla Hayden discussing Discovery and Baltimore-based journalist, author and television producer, David Simon exploring Dialogue.

This virtual program is free and open to all audiences, however, registration is required. Those interested in registering can do so through the link here. Once registered for the program, attendees will receive an automated confirmation email with connection instructions.

The Maryland Center for History and Culture’s series will continue with one final conversation in December, to be announced. Visit mdhistory.org for a full list of virtual programming.

The Maryland Center for History and Culture is now open with limited hours and capacity due to COVID-19. Museum and library hours are Wednesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. Research visits to the library are currently by appointment only. Entry will be monitored to ensure proper social distancing. Masks will be required.

JJC Talks: Jerrell Gibbs
Thursday, November 12 • 6:30-7:30pm
presented by Baltimore Museum of Art

Join the Joshua Johnson Council on Facebook Live for their November meeting featuring a presentation from Baltimore artist Jerrell Gibbs.

Joshua Johnson Council (JJC) Members share a passion for African American and African art. Named after an 18th-century African American portrait painter who lived and worked in Maryland, the JJC is one of the oldest African American museum support groups in the U.S. Its mission is to forge meaningful connections between Baltimore’s African American communities and The Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) by promoting and highlighting the achievements of African American artists.

JJC Membership offers a wide range of opportunities for active participation within a network of friends and colleagues dedicated to art, education, community, and family. JJC programs and meetings take place on the second Thursday of each month.

About the Presenter:

Jerrell Gibbs retraces family memories, examining the origin of his own life by representing intimate and instantly joyous moments. While affirming the multilayered experience of the African American diaspora, Gibbs plunges the viewer into an immersive experience, the realm of his childhood.

Growing up in Baltimore influenced his perspective of socioeconomics, body politics, race, economic disparities, and their influence on one another. Through his figurative portraits, Gibbs accentuates banal representations of Black identity by depicting empathy, inviting the possibility for a spiritual connection. The works are adapted from small Polaroids into life-sized paintings. The artist draws from revised characters in his own life and narratives such as Charles M. Schulz’s Peanuts, mimicking the comic strip’s playful illustrative style.

Gibbs will graduate in 2020 with an MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore. He has exhibited at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum, the Galleries at CCBC, and the Gallery at Howard University. His work appears in the permanent collection in the Harbor Bank of Maryland.

Amy Boone-McCreesh: Room with a View | Virtual Reception + Artist Talk
* Reception Postponed to December 4 • 5-7pm | Ongoing through November 17
presented by VisArts

The signifiers of status and class present themselves culturally in overt and nuanced ways. Logos of high fashion, cars, and grand architecture are predictable ways to display wealth, even if it is perceived. What about the subtle visual ways culture and society delineate class? Class is evident from the view outside one’s window, the level of access and choice in self-care, to the types of fabric in a home. I use an abstracted version of this materialistic visual vocabulary to ask questions that challenge classist structures, but also to tantalize with maximalist aesthetics. Highly saturated colors and a rich variety of textures create an initial attraction, while at the same time questioning assumptions of “good” taste. With this work, I push against the cross-cultural ideas of beauty and perception of class. This maximal and decorative aesthetic is partnered with detailed and hand-driven processes often associated with craft. The utilization of technology and digital components are combined with the handmade processes to create a direct shift in value and labor. These decisions aim to mimic the seemingly arbitrary lines that are drawn to signify cultural markers of luxury, mass production, and the defining features of access.

About the artist

Amy Boone-McCreesh was born on Loring Air Force Base to a British mother and American father. Currently she is based in Baltimore, MD with interests in the connections between aesthetic leanings within economic and cultural status. She has a heightened visual awareness of the ways people and spaces flaunt class, taste, and access. Amy received her MFA from Towson University in Maryland, and shortly thereafter was awarded a two-year Hamiltonian Artist Fellowship in Washington, DC. Her work has been included in exhibitions across the country, notably at Mixed Greens (NY, New York, 2015), Transmitter Gallery (Brooklyn, NY, 2015), Transformer Gallery (Washington DC (2015), Terrault in Baltimore, MD, and supported by institutional exhibitions at Dickinson College in Carlisle, PA, Goucher College, in Baltimore, MD and Marymount University in Alexandria, VA. Amy’s large-scale works have been acquired by the Department of State in the U.S. Consulate in Monterrey, Mexico (Art in Embassies, 2013), Facebook (2019), and Capital One (2018). Her work is featured in New American Paintings (issues 106 and 118) and Handmade Life, published by Thames and Hudson (2016). Amy is also a two-time recipient of the Maryland State Arts Council individual artist award for works on paper.

In addition to her own studio practice, Amy has a committed relationship to visual arts education as well as curating and running INERTIA. A website dedicated to studio visits, artist interviews, and providing a voice for artists to create context for their work outside of critical dialogue. Amy is currently adjunct faculty at Maryland Institute College of Art. www.amyboonemccreesh.com

 

 

Swanktacular VI: 10th Anniversary Special
Saturday, November 14 • 7pm
presented by Baltimore Rock Opera Society

To purchase access to the live stream for only $20 on November 14th, please follow this link.

Join the Baltimore Rock Opera Society for our sixth annual fundraising gala, Swanktacular VI: 10th Anniversary Special!

For reasons that by now should be obvious, we and our attendees will unfortunately not be able to enjoy the epic, in-person 10 Year Anniversary Special we’ve been planning. But you should know by now that BROS is not content to just do nothing, so we’ve created a whole new Swanktacular experience!

Imagine a 1970’s TV awards show of epic proportions. This year’s star-studded event will be an entirely virtual live stream, enjoyed from the comfort of your home. Witness your favorite BROS moments, meet a puppet or two, and support your city’s flagship rock opera company on our 10th anniversary of creating original rock theater.

Our evening’s entertainment will highlight footage from BROS archives of music and dance numbers from across our decade as a community theater, as well as original skits, a documentary-style video section with candid interviews with BROS members sharing stories from throughout our history, and the kickoff video for our $10K for 10 Years campaign.

You’ll have the option to bid on numerous exclusive items and services in our online silent auction, including one-of-a-kind masks created by BROS artists. Towards the end of the evening we’ll have a Doggies & Diamonds fashion show, where viewers can show off their swanky pets!

All attendees that have already purchased tickets are invited to join us on this live stream. Those that haven’t yet purchased tickets can join us for this monumental occasion for only $20.

All new guests will have access to the live stream event, the Swanktacular silent auction, and access to Blue Pit BBQ’s specialty carry-out cocktails the night of the event, where 50% of proceeds will benefit BROS!

If you previously purchased a VIP ticket, General Admission ticket, or Rock Operative ticket we have a surprise for you! You’re invited to a special Swanktacular Pop-Up Concert from BROS musicians that will be traveling around the city on Saturday, November 6th & Sunday, November 7th. Attendees will receive treats by Insomnia Cookies as well as two FREE drinks from our curated bar with specialty cocktails featuring spirits from Baltimore Spirits Company and WILD Kombucha. Special thanks to our Libations & Sustenance Sponsor Charles Green! Keep a lookout for an invitation and RSVP form in your email in the coming weeks. We will have a special swag bag with our event poster, stickers, and more waiting for you at these private events!

All VIP ticket holders will receive all of the above plus unlimited free drinks from the traveling bar at our Swanktacular Pop-Up Concerts, upgraded specialty swag bag, and free access to the first-ever BROS anthology short-film production, premiering in December 2020: The Puppet 6-Pack!

Pandemic? More like GLAMdemic. Attendees for both the stream and our popup concerts are encouraged to wear some fancy duds, because when else would you?

Join us for this new and innovative Swanktacular experience! Tickets available now!

Swanktacular is proudly sponsored by Lighting Dragon Design.

For any questions, please email [email protected].

FAQs

What if I don’t feel comfortable attending the Pop-Up concert?

Totally understandable! If you’d like, we can refund your ticket, but we ask that you consider making it a donation to BROS as the Swanktacular contributes a significant amount to our funding.

Once I purchase a ticket how do I watch the stream?

We’ll be sending out emails with the ticket link the week of the event.

Why can I only buy one ticket at a time?

When you buy a ticket, it generates a unique access code for the email address you provide. This key can’t be shared, so if you want to but a ticket for someone else, you’ll need to do so for a different email address.

Solo Lab 545: Call for Performance Artists
deadline November 15
sponsored by VisArts

Solo Lab 5 is a performance art festival where participating artists get a total of five minutes to present a performance piece.  Solo Lab 5 is an experimental platform for artists of different mediums who would like to translate their work into performance art, or for already established performance artists, it provides a forum for exploration of future ideas in performance art and/or an opportunity to investigate how to communicate concepts to your audience in a short amount of time.

‘Solo Lab 545’ will be a total of six separate events. The first event will be during the VisArts virtual reception on Dec. 4th, and then one performance per week for five weeks following the reception. A total of ten performances will be virtually broadcast. Five artists will be selected to do a live performance at the Common Ground Gallery at VisArts, and the other five will be asked to pre-record their performance where we will virtually broadcast them at the time of the event. Every artist will get a total of six minutes.  Five minutes to perform and an additional minute for set up and break down/clean up of the artist’s stage.

Selected artists will have the opportunity to participate in a mini-residency, with the use of the Common Ground gallery as a studio and performance space for one week.  At the end of each artist’s mini-residency, the artist will do a small talk and performance on a virtual platform. All mediums are welcome, but at the end of the mini-residency your transformed space must be of a performative nature.  Groups of two artists (for example a painter and an performance artist) can work together in a collaborative manner. Both the space as well as the performance will work as one cohesive project. All mediums are welcome to apply. This event will give performance artists a chance to have their own solo show in a gallery environment where the walls are not shared with other visual artists.
