Young Blood Revisited | MICA Bicentennial

On View: Thursday, July 9 - Saturday, August 22

Opening Reception: Thursday, July 9  | 6 pm to 9 pm

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.

Exhibiting artists will be announced.
