Upcoming Exhibitions

We are pleased to announce that three curators have been selected to participate in the 6th Annual Curators’ Incubator, an invaluable program designed to assist curators with little or no experience through the process of presenting an exhibition at MAP. From providing guidance on how to further develop their exhibition proposals, to helping to strengthen their curatorial writing in preparation for publication in a program catalogue, curators are mentored by MAP staff and members of its Program Advisory Committee (PAC) along the way.

In the fall, curators Zoma Wallace and T. Shareen Dash will present AFRIKATALYST, an exhibition of art and performance based on an art movement that is “heavily informed by scientific, historical, and sociological scholarship and is infused with cultural nuances of the Afrikan Diaspora.” Participating artists include: Johnnie Bess, Christian Braneon, Jonathan Edwards, Akil E. Kennedy, Nathaniel Matthews, James Phillips, William Nathaniel Thomas IV, and Jeffery Vinson.

Curator Rebecca Weber will present Invisible Omniscience: Seeing and the Seen, an exhibition that addresses the ubiquitous use of surveillance in contemporary society and the issues that are raised regarding security and a person's civil liberties. Participating artists include: William Betts, Christa Erickson, Leslie Furlong, Brendan Howell, Frank Klein, and Eric Parnes.

Save the date for MAP’s upcoming benefit exhibition and gala, The Seven Deadly Sins, Friday, November 7th!

The evening will be inspired by guilt-free decadence featuring a divine sit-down dinner, endless bar, live performances, music, film, and of course, incredible artwork. Be amongst the first to view a collection of work created by the area’s most talented artists, chosen specifically for this event.

During the gala, you may feel momentarily greedy nudging your way through the crowd to bid on artwork in the silent auction and will thoroughly enjoy the highly original, fun, albeit slightly gluttonous and occasionally lustful, live auction items MAP has put together for you. We guarantee the event will serve to make all those sloths who didn’t attend very envious—but in the end, it’ll be worth enduring their wrath! Come partake in the festivities and take pride in knowing that your support will enable MAP to serve thousands of artists this year and to enrich the lives of countless others in our community.

Tickets are $250 per person. To reserve your ticket now, call: (410) 962-8565 or email: development@mdartplace.org.
