Young Blood Walk + Talk Tour and Mentor Mixer: Friday, August 21 | 6 PM to 8 PM 

In acknowledgement of the closing of our 17th annual Young Blood program we are hosting a Walk + Talk Tour and  Mentor Mixer in an attempt to connect emergent artists with peers, mentors, professors or artists who inspire, support or connect with their work. We see this as an opportunity for professional development where each exhibiting artist can host an informal artist talk/studio visit and use this as an opportunity to gain insight, invite critique,or perspective surrounding their work. As a result each artist will host a 10 to 15 minute artist talk to discuss their work and answer any audience questions. Please join us on Friday, August 21 from 6 to 8 PM for the Young Blood Walk + Talk Tour and Mentor Mixer. We look forward to celebrating our exhibiting artists.

Natural Herstories 

Exhibition on View: September 10 - Nov 7, 2026

Opening Reception: Thursday, Sep 10, 2026 in conjunction with BROMO ART WALK | 5 PM to 9 PM

Maryland Art Place (MAP) is pleased to present “Natural Herstories" exploring womxn artists’ complex relationships with the natural world, with a particular focus on artists who employ nature as an act of reclamation against colonialist narratives within their work.

“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 draws parallels between the historical exercise of male power over nature, animal bodies, and female bodies alike. Through this framework, 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.
