DON'T MISS OUT: Young Blood Revisited, our MICA Bicentennial show, is still on view until the END OF THIS WEEK, Saturday, August 22! Check it out at MAP on Tuesdays-Saturdays between 12pm-4pm🤩

As part of MICA’s 200th Anniversary, MAP will proudly be presenting new works created by MICA alumni who had previously exhibited in Youngblood. Each year following graduation, Maryland Art Place’s (MAP’s) Executive Leadership and Program Advisory Committee (PAC) curates Young Blood, an annual exhibition of works by recent Baltimore-area Masters of Fine Art graduates.

Since 2008, Young Blood has showcased recent MFA graduates from Baltimore-area institutions, bringing together artists from diverse programs to exhibit work from their thesis projects. The exhibition serves as an important platform for emerging artists, providing visibility, critical engagement, and professional recognition. Over the past 18 years, Young Blood has featured 124 artists from institutions including MICA, UMBC, Towson University, the University of Maryland, and Goucher College. Join us on Thursday, July 9, to celebrate a selection of MICA alumni whose work has been part of this longstanding program.

MAP sits inside one of the many historic buildings in Baltimore… Our Saratoga Street location is not only vital to the Bromo Arts District, but the history is intertwined with Baltimore City as a whole. 🏢🏙️

Since opening its doors in 1981, Maryland Art Place has served as a critical resource for
contemporary art in Maryland, supporting hundreds of artists each year through exhibitions, affordable studio space, art sales, mentorship, fiscal sponsorship, and other opportunities for professional growth.

Our need for support is more urgent than ever as we see fellow art spaces and partners close their doors. Your support helps us keep our calls for art FREE and accessible to all artists, and enables us to revitalize our historic location in order to better serve the Baltimore arts community.

Our 45 FOR 45 CAMPAIGN celebrates the people who have made this
work possible—and invites the next generation of supporters to help carry it
forward.

We invite you to make a gift to MAP’s 45th Anniversary Campaign today!

Upcoming exhibition Natural Herstories: Sneak Peeks! 🌲🦊

We are incredibly excited to highlight artists Sara Torgison, Stephanie Garmey, and Lindsay Pichaske as participants in our upcoming show, opening Sept. 10th during Bromo Art Walk!

“Natural Herstories” explores 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.

The opening reception for Natural Herstories will be September 10th…the same exact day and time (5-9PM) as Baltimore’s Bromo Art Walk!!

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.
The show will be on view from September 10th-November 7th. Exhibiting artists to be announced.
