Two major artist residencies, one exciting announcement! 🎉

We're proud to announce that Ultra Naté has been named the Alice and Franklin Cooley Composer in Residence and that Anna Divinagracia, Dirk Joseph, and Dr. Yemonja Smalls (Yemonja JustHuman) have been selected for the 2026 Summer Artist-in-Residence program at MICA, jointly sponsored by the BMA, the Maryland Institute College of Art, and the Joshua Johnson Council.

A renowned Baltimore-born singer, songwriter, DJ, producer, and globally celebrated music icon, Naté will draw on her expansive musical vocabulary—spanning house, soul, disco, electro-pop, R&B, hip-hop, and rock—to develop new work inspired by the BMA’s collection that reflects her legacy as both an innovator and connector across musical communities.

Divinagracia, Joseph, and Smalls are all Baltimore-based artists who were selected by a five-panel jury to work in studios within MICA’s Fred Lazarus IV Center over the course of eight weeks in June and July, allowing them to expand their work and scale, as well as embed themselves within the college community.

✨ Learn more about Naté, Divinagracia, Joseph, and Smalls at artbma.org/press.

South African-born artist Jo Smail made this painting after a studio fire and while recovering from a stroke—suggesting resilience in the aftermath of trauma.

Smail’s time at the Maryland Institute College of Art reflects its role as a site of global artistic exchange grounded in material sensitivity and psychological inquiry.

Matisse’s take & the inspo. ➡️ 🖼️

explored two completely different approaches to the scene of the Eleventh Station for his Stations of the Cross mural—here, focusing his attention on the raising of the cross, not typically depicted in the Stations of the Cross but often included in religious artworks.

Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens’ version in Belgium’s Antwerp Cathedral was of particular interest to Matisse, who considered it the best example of the subject.

🎟️ Get tickets to see more in Matisse in Vence: The Stations of the Cross at artb.ma/49Zf0rL.

🗓️ On view through Sunday, June 28.

Solitude, mystery, and nature: the perfect reset for your feed. 🌿 ✨

This site near Ornans, the picturesque town where French artist Gustave Courbet was born in 1819, constantly inspired him. Courbet turned increasingly to landscape painting in the late 1850s and 1860s and worked on several views of the location seen here.

📍 Experience this artwork up close in the Cone Wing.
