Over, under, and through: a different perspective ⌛🏛️🌿

“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 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.

On view through November 7 at Maryland Art Place.
📍 218 W. Saratoga St., Baltimore, MD

Maryland Art Place, in partnership with Hotel Indigo Baltimore, is pleased to present VILLAGER: sovereign is my tradition, a solo exhibition by Baltimore-based artist, VILLAGER. Join us in TWO WEEKS for the public reception at Hotel Indigo from 2pm to 4pm!

📍 Hotel Indigo, 24 West Franklin St
🖼️ On view: September 19 - November 13, 2026
🎉 Public reception: Sunday, October 18, 2 PM to 4 PM
🧑🏾‍🎨 Artist Talk/Closing Reception: Sunday, November 8, 2 PM to 4 PM.

Actively investigating the liminal intersections of material memory and sensory intelligence, migration, Yorùbá knowledge production, and postcolonial African identity, VILLAGER synthesizes their paintings into a dynamic topography of critical inquiry into the poetics of relational interplay between objects, bodies, and spaces, utilizing layers and applications of color, movement, rhythm, layering, texture, pattern, scarification, and mark-making to examine how form, design (beauty aesthetic), function, and content intersect to produce alternate ways of seeing, being, and knowing rooted in the post-colonial Afro-futurist consciousness.

Their work is often characterized by undulating and errant, neural-like, semi-circular woven patterned marks and gestural scars that take form through an amalgamation of abstraction, figuration, and collaging traditions, emerging as a sovereign creolized visual language that engages questions of culture, identity, consciousness, and belonging. Through their work, VILLAGER ultimately invites the viewer to reexamine what it means to be shaped and transformed by what we sense, experience, know, remember, and sustain.

Our Saratoga Street building has just as much charm as Baltimore! 🦀✨

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.

Announcing: Threshold of Stone: Exploring the Physical, Political and Artistic Multiplicity of Walls

C. Grimaldis Gallery & Catalyst Contemporary are excited to announce a collaborative photographic exhibition investigating the concept of walls as a mundane yet powerful political and psychological symbol. We live with these structures that can both isolate and protect, bear witness and imprison, that carry the marks of human contact, and carry the weight of division. This show features works by Ben Marcin, Brian P. Miller, Leland Rice, and Bernd Radtke.

Come see the show on MAP's 5th floor during on Thursday, September 10th!
