Concentric Circles | Lecture: Painting Process: Gesture, Surface, and Meaning
Wednesday, September 9 :: 5-6pm
@ Silber Gallery
Concentric Circles is a group painting exhibition that places William S. Dutterer (1943–2007) at the center of an intergenerational story of painting, mentorship, and artistic influence. Bringing together works by Dutterer, his mentor Grace Hartigan, and artists Julia Stoops and Tom Kenyon, the exhibition examines how ideas, methods, and values move between artists and across generations.
A painter, draftsman, and influential educator, Dutterer developed a distinctive visual language that moved between abstraction and figuration. His work is characterized by bold forms, rigorous drawing, psychologically charged imagery, and an ongoing investigation of gesture, surface, symbol, and repetition. Resisting easy categorization, Dutterer absorbed the lessons of postwar abstraction while developing an increasingly personal and idiosyncratic approach to image-making.
Dutterer studied under Grace Hartigan, a major figure in postwar American painting and longtime director of the Hoffberger School of Painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art. He later became an influential educator himself at the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design in Washington, D.C., where his teaching emphasized discipline, experimentation, observation, and fearlessness in the studio.
Rather than presenting influence as a straight line from teacher to student, Concentric Circles considers Dutterer as the center of an expanding network. The exhibition asks what artists truly inherit from one another: a style, a gesture, a way of seeing, a commitment to the work—or simply the permission to take risks.
Through these relationships, Concentric Circles offers an opportunity to reconsider Dutterer’s legacy as extending beyond the remarkable objects he created. Like circles expanding outward from a single point, an artist’s influence can travel through teachers, peers, students, and communities—and continue long after the artist is gone.
Curated by Caitlin Tucker-Melvin (Guest Curator) and Liz Faust. In partnership with the William S Dutterer Trust and Catalyst Contemporary.

Opening Reception & Artist Talk
Join artist, Myungsook Ryu Kim, to explore the Encounter exhibition together and gain insights into how she creates art that pulsates with energy and harmoniously juxtaposes Eastern philosophies with Western media techniques.
Ashley Minner Jones: The place today known as Baltimore

DEVOTED: 20 Years of The McMillan-Stewart Endowed Chair in Painting | Opening Reception
Thursday, September 10 :: 5-7pm
@ MICA Decker Gallery, Fox Building
As a part of its year-long Bicentennial Celebration, The Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) will bring together–for the first time–the work of 29 women artists who have made lasting connections with the school and its community. Open August 28–October 11, DEVOTED: 20 Years of The McMillan-Stewart Endowed Chair in Painting will feature original artworks with a diverse and intergenerational roster—including science fiction multi-media artist Saya Woolfalk; painter and photographer Jane Dickson, celebrated for her iconic images of 1980s-era Times Square; and nationally renowned portraitist Amy Sherald ’04 (LeRoy E. Hoffberger School of Painting MFA). Presented in MICA’s Decker Gallery, located in the Fox Building, DEVOTED celebrates the open, unstinting exchanges fostered by the chairship. A public reception will take place on Thursday, September 10, from 5–7 p.m.
“By showcasing the creativity of women working at the forefront of art and culture, this exhibition underscores the values of our community at MICA,” explains MICA President Cecilia M. McCormick, JD. “I am grateful for the ongoing partnership with the McMillan-Stewart Foundation in bringing contemporary women artists skilled in traditional painting techniques to our classrooms. The artists spark timely conversations and push disciplinary boundaries—reflecting both MICA’s 200-year history and its bold vision for the future of arts education.”
Established by a 2006 gift from the McMillan-Stewart Foundation, the endowed chairship connects accomplished women artists with undergraduate painting students via weekly critiques, and the larger MICA community through public lectures. Over two decades, this program has nurtured an ever-expanding network of educational exchanges between artists and students—as peers, colleagues, and mentors—that defines the educational experience at MICA.

Minor Monuments | Opening Reception
Thursday, September 10 :: 5-9pm
@ Red Giant
Red Giant is pleased to present Minor Monuments, a group exhibition of new work by five sculptors working in stone: Candice Russell, Sebastian Martorana, Louis Sarowsky, Stephen Shaheen, and Paul Tucci. The exhibition takes up the oldest promise of the material, permanence, and asks what happens when it is offered to subjects the monument has always left out.
Stone is the material we reach for when we want to insist that something will not be forgotten: the founder on his plinth, the general on his horse, the name cut into the face of the tomb. Marble and its relatives carry that history into any room they enter, and the hierarchy that comes with it. Some subjects have long been thought worthy of the permanent, and most have not. A monument is, among other things, a decision about what deserves to last, and for most of the history of carved stone that decision has run in one direction: toward power, piety, and death.
Minor Monuments gathers artists who accept the full weight of the material and aim it somewhere else. In their hands marble is granted to a pillow, a snack, a childhood puppet, a doubt, a body that will not compose itself into an ideal. A dozen donuts are carved in stone and boxed by the dozen. Onyx is hung from a length of found chain. The classical vocabulary of the nude and the allegory is invoked and then allowed to sag, sprout, and misbehave. What unites the work is not a subject but a gesture: the deliberate spending of many hundred hours, and several hundred million years of geological time, on things a monument would never stoop to commemorate.
To render a toaster pastry or a television friendship in marble is a joke that takes itself seriously, an argument that the fleeting and the ordinary have as much claim to permanence as any battle or founder. The gesture is not a rejection of the monumental tradition so much as a quarrel with its guest list. It proposes that the tradition was never wrong about the power of stone, only selective about who and what got to receive it.

THRESHOLD OF STONE: Exploring the Physical, Political and Artistic Multiplicity of Walls | Opening Reception
Thursday, September 10 :: 6-9pm
@ Maryland Art Place, 5th Floor
C. Grimaldis Gallery and Catalyst Contemporary are pleased to present Threshold of Stone: Exploring the Physical, Political and Artistic Multiplicity of Walls, a collaborative, photographic exhibition at Maryland Art Place, featuring works by Dimitra Lazaridou, Ben Marcin, Brian P. Miller, Bernd Radtke, and Leland Rice. The exhibition investigates the concept of walls as mundane yet powerful, political and psychological symbols. We live with these structures that can both isolate and protect, bear witness and imprison, carry the marks of human contact, and carry the weight of division.
Bringing together five artists whose practices investigate surface, memory, and place, Threshold of Stone approaches the wall as both a material fact and allegorical partition. Through photography, the artists depict walls as sites where public and private space meet, where histories are concealed or exposed, and where traces of human presence accumulate through weathering, inscription, repair, erasure, and time.
Natural Herstories | Opening Reception
Thursday, September 10 :: 6-10pm
@ Maryland Art Place
Maryland Art Place (MAP) is pleased to present “Natural Herstories” exploring womxn artists’ complex relationships with the natural world, with a particular focus on artists who employ nature as an act of reclamation against colonialist narratives within their work.
“Natural Herstories” examines the intersections of patriarchy, colonialism, and systems of classification embedded within institutions such as natural history museums, the natural sciences, and the tradition of taxidermy. The exhibition draws parallels between the historical exercise of male power over nature, animal bodies, and female bodies alike. Through this framework, the exhibition proposes that womxn artists engage the natural world as both subject matter and a form of resistance, challenging histories of domination and subjugation imposed upon both the environment and the bodies that inhabit it.
Exhibiting Artists:
Laura Amussen
Divya Anantharaman
Shasta Donegan
Stephanie Garmey
Elizabeth Holtry
Ellen Jewett
Luci Jockel
Maria Lux
Jennifer McBrien

Unfiltered: Free Speech, Creativity, and Democracy
Thursday, September 10 :: 7pm
@ Reginald F. Lewis Museum
In partnership with the Maryland’s Four Centuries Project and the Maryland Center for History and Culture, the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture presents a powerful conversation on freedom of speech, one of the nation’s most essential and contested ideals.
On Thursday, September 10, 2026 at 7pm, join acclaimed author and cultural commentator D. Watkins and Maryland State Delegate Marlon Amprey at the Reginald F. Lewis Museum for a dynamic, unscripted conversation exploring the history, meaning, and contemporary impact of free expression. Moving from the foundational principles of the First Amendment to modern legal debates surrounding creative expression including the Protecting Admissibility of Creative Expression (PACE) Act, introduced as HB 1346 by Maryland State Delegate Marlon Amprey, this dialogue will challenge audiences to consider: What does freedom of speech really mean, and who does it protect?
Serving as a key component of the Lewis Museum’s latest exhibition, The Lines We Cross: 250 Years of Maryland Forging America, this program investigates how Maryland’s African American community has historically challenged boundaries surrounding power, race, citizenship, and belonging. Combined, this exhibition and lecture series push us to contemplate: What lines have Marylanders crossed in pursuit of freedom and what lines remain before us?
At 250 years, Maryland’s story is not complete. It is still being written by those willing to question, to act, and to carry forward the work of freedom. Join us for an evening of history, insight, and purpose and take part in shaping what comes next.
Friday, September 11 :: 5pm
@ The David C. Driskell Center
Join us in celebrating the landmark 25th anniversary of The Driskell Center with Jubilee.

Look back on our history and forward, to the next 25 years and beyond! The exhibition is curated by Dr. Adrienne Childs (Ph.D. ’05). The opening is part of the university’s NextNOW Fest. It is supported in part by the Maryland State Arts Council (msac.org), the University of Maryland’s Arts for All initiative, and The Driskell Center’s generous patrons.
Off the Page: A Multimedia Solo Exhibition by Jessica Damen | Opening Reception
Saturday, September 12 :: 1-4pm
@ The Peale
The Peale Museum will present Off the Page, a multimedia solo exhibition by Baltimore artist Jessica Damen, opening in September 2026. The exhibition explores the dynamic relationship between literature, painting, poetry, fairy tales, rhyming songs, and sound.
Centered on Damen’s long-standing use of literary materials in her practice, Off the Page brings the written word into visual and sensory form. Inspired by poets and writers including Tim Joyce, Janet Lewis, Wilfred Owen, Paula Meehan, Michael Salcman, and Damen’s longtime collaborator Maj Ragain, the exhibition features paintings that respond to verse, myth, memory, and storytelling.
Through bold brushwork, vivid and subtle color, delicate washes, and layered soundscapes, Damen invites visitors into an immersive dialogue between language and image. Rather than illustrating poems directly, her paintings illuminate emotional, psychological, and symbolic responses to the texts that inspire them.
“Poetry and painting both thrive when they leave room for mystery,” Damen says. “The interplay of verse and vision creates fertile ground for imagination, reflection, and renewed understanding.”
Accompanied by recorded readings and soundscapes, Off the Page encourages visitors to experience poems not only as written texts, but as voices, rhythms, images, and sensations. The exhibition expands Damen’s earlier project Visions Verses Voices, continuing her exploration of how poetry, painting, and spoken word can deepen one another.
Programming for Off the Page will include artist talks, poetry readings, workshops, audio experiences, and interactive opportunities for audiences of all ages. Planned workshops will invite participants to respond to paintings through writing, drawing, and close looking, with special emphasis on how visual art and literature can help young people process emotion, memory, and imagination.
At its core, Off the Page invites audiences to consider how language and imagery shape the way we understand the world. Through Damen’s synthesis of painting, poetry, sound, and story, the exhibition offers an experience that is visually rich, emotionally resonant, and deeply human.
