The Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) is pleased to welcome the Baltimore community and beyond to campus for a chance to see the incredible works of art by MICA students in one of the largest displays of visual art in the city. The annual ArtWalk Commencement Exhibition will present over 2,400 unique artworks by nearly 400 graduating students in the undergraduate school across MICA’s campus.

Art lovers and collectors alike will have the opportunity to meet and talk with the emerging artists and to be the first in line to purchase the works. Pieces on view range from sculpture, painting, ceramics, animation, graphic design, illustration, garment design, printmaking, woodworking, fiber art, digital art, game design, assemblage/collage, photography, and film—a testament to the robust and diverse curriculum offered at MICA.

“We’re so proud of our 2024 graduates. It’s always thrilling to see how our students’ creativity transforms almost every inch of MICA’s campus during this annual showcase and celebration of their work,” said Dean of Undergraduate Studies Mina Cheon. “I can’t wait to see what they accomplish as they embark on professional careers.”

The weekend kicks off with the ArtWalk Opening on Friday, May 10, allowing attendees to meet with emerging young artists to discuss the art-making process for the works on view. It is also a wonderful opportunity to connect with family, friends, and neighbors at the most exciting party in town. The evening will feature delicious fare from Baltimore’s top food trucks including Bmore Greek Grill, Breaking the Borders Down, Kommie Pig, Kooper’s Chowhound, Lyfe Acai and Smoothie Bar, and Taharka Brothers. Beer, wine, and soda will also be sold at the three bars provided by Dooby’s in Cohen Plaza.

ArtWalk is free and open to the public from Friday, May 10 through Monday, May 13, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
