Professional Development & Career

Visual Art

Art AND: Chris Bathgate

Constantly pursuing the feeling of learning something new, Bathgate finds himself experimenting on the edge of the technologies he employs

It’s important to Bathgate that his works be makeable, at least by someone with his extremely specific skill set, which he admits only a few people in the world possess. 

Collecting

Living With Art: Erin Fostel and Ryan Dorsey

How a full-time artist and a Baltimore City councilperson have built their art collection

“Everything in this house represents the person, so every piece of art is an intimate connection to that artist,” Fostel says. “Having their work on our walls constantly keeps them in mind.”

Art AND: LaToya Hobbs

The 2020 Sondheim winner talks about balancing family and studio time, portraiture as power, and symbol systems
