I started out my career as a young Artist, still in middle school, going to an after school program called 901 Arts. The connections I made at 901 Arts allowed me to apply for several scholarships to cover art programs I was interested in. I was able to take fundamental drawing, expressional drawing, pottery, and photography classes at local Universities, Towson and the Maryland Institute of College and Art. The scholarships also allowed me to go to an art and film focused summer program, Steven Yeager's Young Film Makers Workshop.

My name is Daniel Conrad. My principle arts interest is color-changing light art, an art-form that uses LED lights and barriers behind a diffusing screen with a digital controller. I am also a painter, MFA from MICA.
I have studied color theories, and color perception. In 1972 I made a color-performance instrument, the “chromaccord”, using colored lights and dimmers, and performed on it in San Francisco. Moving back East, I performed in Baltimore and other locations, including the Orpheum Cinema (Baltimore), Andy Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh), and Diapason Sound Gallery (NYC).

Frances Wertimer is a Baltimore-based multi-media artist originally from New York City, with roots in New Orleans as well. Her work is driven by a desire to heal from and interrogate misogynistic cultural tropes such as the Madonna/Whore complex, as well as archetypal study, psychology, myth, spirituality, and the pursuit of justice. Frances has exhibited work in New York City, Baltimore, New Orleans, and has multiple works held in private collections in the United States, Canada, and the Netherlands.
I've been playing guitar since the eighties. I spent a few years in Seattle in the early-mid nineties, immersing my self in the arts scene there. While out West, I added hand drumming and visual arts to my modes of expression. At that time it was mostly colored pencil explorations of conceptual mindscapes. I was able to spend the better part of a summer living in the Redwood forests of Oregon. I had something of a religious conversion experience at a Grateful Dead show, which sent me on a 15 year exploration of various Christian churches in America.
Andrew Nelson is a Baltimore-born oil painter. His works portray scenes of connection and disconnection, exploring how ideas of togetherness manifest in today’s post-internet social environment. Andrew’s experience painting from life imparts nuanced warmth and light to his studio work, even as his oftentimes sparse compositions distance viewers from the subject matter. Andrew is a Yale undergraduate alumnus and began painting professionally in the Fall of 2021.
Born in 1994 in Sao Paulo city Brazil, Lucas grew up in a family of artists, craftsmen and musicians.
As a first generation immigrant to the USA, his works of art focus on the forms & ideas of freedom, family, community & the hope for a better future for Latin American immigrants.The city of Baltimore has been the center space to his creations as well as the concept of many of his artistic practice. The outcome of Luca/s artwork has become a system of natural public reflections, painting & music performances and that incite and perform societal reflection–
