About the artist: 

Ainsley Burrows (b. 1974 in Kingston, Jamaica; based in Baltimore, MD) is a full-time multidisciplinary artist who explores untold stories and  unspoken emotions. Raised in Brooklyn, NY, Burrows'; creative pursuits as a poet, musician, performer, and painter deeply influenced one another. Burrows'; professional artistic journey began after a life-altering car accident in his early 20s, which led him to abandon an MBA program and fully commit to his passion for art. He toured the world as a poet and performer until 2009 when he expanded his artistic expression to include painting.

Please join us on Wednesday, December 4 from 5 to 7 PM at Hotel Indigo for the opening reception celebrating the solo exhibition of Ainsley Burrows. Hotel Indigo is free and open to the public. Please visit Hotel Indigo website for hours of operation.

For over a decade, MAP has collaborated with ACCR to enrich underserved communities through initiatives like Out of Order and by hosting signature exhibitions. Together, we aim to recognize the many talented artists in our community while supporting the important work of local nonprofits. By working together, we can create nurturing and supportive environments that promote dialogue, build a sense of community, and improve overall well-being for the individuals, children and families receiving services from our nonprofit partners.
