I am an active resident of Baltimore City currently working with several, nonprofit organizations to lead art workshops and classes with young people. I am a visual artist and advocate. I am deeply passionate and supportive of Baltimore's DIY music scene. While I am very excited to begin bringing my community practice into that space, I am currently finishing my MFA in Community Arts at MICA, and looking forward to opportunities to showcase my personal art practice which is multidisciplinary.

Artist Statement
My name is Benjamin Baugham; artist name Boy Blue. I am a traditional ink artist by passion and a chalk artist by calling. I have never been formally trained in the arts but I have been divinely gifted with the ability to communicate with others. I devote all my art to Christ, not necessarily in subject but always in my intention. My ink on canvas expresses the darker parts of our nature as people; how complex our flaws can be and how beautiful they become when explained and redeemed. My chalk on pavement expresses the innocence I get to see in each
Ama is a Baltimore born foundationally Black and Aegean interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the layered complexities of identity through the lenses of ancestry, mixed-race heritage, motherhood, spirituality, sexuality and femininity through expression. Utilizing various media, she crafts visual narratives that delve into the interplay between personal history and collective memory. Often using bright colors and light to convey by any means necessary at times it may feel that her work takes no prisoners.

Multidisciplinary artist who has been sharing creative work with the public since 2012.
I am a self-taught visionary artist. Art has allowed me to look beyond an event and experience it from different perspectives while attempting to make sense of them. My work has given me full expression to explore the shadow parts of my personality and trauma while also embracing the gifts that lie beyond “normal” consciousness.
My name is Jeff Elmore and I like to tell stories in unconventional ways. I’ve never been afraid to think outside of the box or throw the box away and create something brand new in its place. Taking inspiration of the slick and stylized Harlem Renaissance, the vivid color influence of Pop Art, and the impactful influence of comic books, I’ve developed my own version of storytelling with a sometimes unapologetically black narrative.
