Athena's Daughters
November 30, 2004 - January 8, 2005
Gallery Talk/Reception: Thursday, December 9, 2004
From November 30 to January 8, 2005, Maryland Art Place (MAP) will exhibit the work of five artists who have worked with artist Grace Hartigan in the Hoffberger School of Painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art, and continue building dynamic careers in the Baltimore area. Mina Cheon, Jessica C. Damen, Espi Frazier, Tonya Ingersol and Allyson Smith will present recent works, as will Grace Hartigan. This exhibition will explore issues faced by artists who have specifically chosen to create outside the mainstream marketplace, while addressing issues of feminism and transcending traditional canonical concerns. This is a diverse group of artists with innovative work that should challenge and inspire audiences.
MAP invites the public to a talk with Hartigan and the artists on Thursday, December 9, 2004 from 6-7pm, followed by a reception from 7-9pm. The opening is free and encourages the public to join the discussion about the artists’ work and issues relevant to contemporary art.
