SUMMARY:She Speaks: Black Women Artists and the Power of Historical Memory
DESCRIPTION:The Banneker-Douglass-Tubman Museum proudly announces its newest exhibition\, She Speaks: Black Women Artists and the Power of Historical Memory–a visionary presentation that examines the 250-year history of the United States of America through a Black Feminist lens. This exhibition brings together a powerful constellation of contemporary Maryland-based and internationally recognized Black women artists whose deeply personal and politically charged works bear witness to the past\, illuminate its impact on the present\, and conjure Afrofuturist visions. \nThrough a diverse range of media—including collage\, painting\, print\, photography\, textile\, installation\, and time-based media—She Speaks acknowledges Black women as active participants in the making of this country rather than passive bystanders\, highlighting artists who operate as historians\, archivists\, and scholars to tell their stories. Presented alongside rarely seen archival materials and family heirlooms\, the exhibition highlights the pivotal role Black women have played in shaping and preserving this nation since the Revolutionary era\, while envisioning liberated futures through cosmic speculation. \nFeatured artists include Elizabeth Catlett\, Alanna Fields\, Dr. Joan M. E. Gaither\, Charlyn Griffith-Oro\, Khaleelah I. L. Harris\, Martha Jackson Jarvis\, Fabiola Jean-Louis\, Jeannine Kayembe-Oro\, Zsudayka Nzinga\, Ada Pinkston\, Beverly Price\, Faith Ringgold\, Noreen Smith\, Darlene R. Taylor\, Jessica Valoris\, Savannah G. M. Wood\, and Alisha B. Wormsley. \nAs the nation collectively commemorates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence through coordinated national\, Maryland 250\, and Annapolis 250 initiatives\, this exhibition enters the conversation by expanding how American history is remembered and told. By retracing and reinterpreting these histories through the voices of Black women\, the exhibition challenges audiences to consider whose stories have been preserved\, and whose have yet to be fully recognized. \nShe Speaks is curated by Martina Dodd\, BDTM Curator of Collections and Exhibitions\, with curatorial support from Leslie Rose\, Exhibit Manager. Lending institutions include Academy Art Museum\, Galerie Myrtis\, Howard University Gallery of Art\, Washington\, D.C.\, James E. Lewis Museum of Art\, and Reginald F. Lewis Museum. \nShe Speaks will open to the public with an Opening Reception and Black History Month celebration on Saturday\, February 7\, 2026. The exhibition will remain on view through January 16\, 2027\, with interpretive programming offered throughout the year to further engage with the exhibition’s themes of history\, memory\, resistance\, and Black women’s enduring contributions to the nation’s cultural and civic life.

SUMMARY:Framing and Finishing: Woodworking in the Colonial Age
DESCRIPTION:Well before America declared its independence in 1776\, a building boom across the colonies meant that architects\, carpenters\, and artisans needed expertise\, materials\, and tools. Tools were specific to the role of carpenter\, joiner\, master\, journeyman\, apprentice\, and the unskilled labor force\, which would have included slave labor. \nThis exhibition represents more than 50 user-made and commercially produced house-building tools utilized by 18th-century woodworkers. Tools for framing a house\, along with those for finishing the interior–floors\, doors\, cornices\, windows\, shutters\, and chair rails-are represented. British and American wood planes\, measuring devices\, knives and saws\, braces\, and other implements are each a piece of art\, each used for a specific purpose. We acknowledge the skill and resourcefulness of these craftsmen and their part in building a new nation.

SUMMARY:Abjection and Alienation: Video Works by Martha Rosler and Pipilotti Rist
DESCRIPTION:A visceral comparison of two influential works of video art: Blutclip (1993) by Swiss visual artist Pipilotti Rist and Vital Statistics of a Citizen\, Simply Obtained (1977) by American conceptual artist Martha Rosler. \nThis exhibition invites you to compare these two works; to explore how each show the female body as transmogrified by society into a thing both abject and alien. Of equal importance\, we invite you to interrogate the different ways human beings are systematically controlled and dehumanized—not only women\, but also ‘foreigners’ and ‘citizens’. These works dare to ask how a person can feel both alien and native at the same time\, bound or unbound\, home or not-at-home. They challenge the societal forces that create this rending state of being. \nThematic questions we encourage you to consider while viewing these works include: Why do we otherize people? How can an objectified person reclaim feeling human? How can I be whole again? \nThis exhibition is sponsored by Laura Ricciardelli and David Watt. \nHOURS AND ADMISSION: Thursday\, Saturday\, and Sunday\, 10am-6pm; Friday\, 2-7:30pm. Admission is Free. \nACCESSIBILITY AND PARKING: The museum is wheelchair accessible. Free handicap and other parking available in the Edensword Parking Lot (off St. John’s Street between College Avenue and Calvert Street–turn at the yellow house).

SUMMARY:Let's Go! Music Festival
DESCRIPTION:Let’s Go Music Festival is the official kickoff to summer in Maryland. Created by a brother-and-sister duo from Annapolis\, Let’s Go! was built by music lovers\, for music lovers — and is heading into its 6th year as one of the region’s most anticipated live-music weekends.\n​\nSince day one\, they have focused on bringing top-tier national talent to their hometown while delivering a festival experience that feels personal\, intentional\, and fan-first. Let’s Go offers something you rarely get with acts of this caliber: room to breathe\, room to dance\, and real access to the music. Whether you’re holding a GA or VIP ticket\, you’re never lost in a sea of tens of thousands — and even GA fans can still get right up front at the stage (and maybe you’ll end up on stage!).\n​\nThe result is a festival that combines big-name performances with the intimacy\, comfort\, and community feel of a hometown event — a weekend designed to feel just as unforgettable as the music itself.

SUMMARY:Linen and Liberty: Meet Catharine Futier
DESCRIPTION:It’s the spring of 1776 and the American Revolution is underway. British occupation of several colonies\, combined with Congress’s non-importation policy on British goods\, makes essential supplies increasingly scarce for tradespeople.  \nCatharine Futier\, a free Black woman who earns her living as a laundress and seamstress\, is among those deeply affected by these restrictions. Step into her shop and journey into the past to discover how everyday people endured hardship\, adapted\, and made sacrifices in support of the revolutionary cause.  \nThis is a drop-in style program. Visitors may join at any time during program hours and explore at their own pace through informal interaction and demonstrations. Advance registration recommended\, but not required.

SUMMARY:The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)
DESCRIPTION:The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)\nWritten by Adam Long\, Daniel Singer\, and Jess Winfield \nDirected by Robin Schwartz \nTickets: www.ptcshows.org \nPerformance Dates at Live Arts Studio\, Annapolis Mall: \nFriday\, June 5- 7:00pm \nSunday\, June 7- 1:00pm and 4:00pm \nSaturday\, June 13- 4:00pm and 7:00pm \nSunday\, June 14- 1:00pm and 4:00pm \nSPECIAL PRESENTATION: Saturday\, June 6\, at 1:00pm\, Outdoor “Shakespeare in Severna Park”\, Woods Amphitheater \nThe Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) is a wildly fast-paced comedy that takes on all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays—plus the sonnets—in a single\, uproarious performance*. Using only a handful of actors and maximum imagination\, the show barrels through the tragedies\, comedies\, and histories with gleeful chaos. Equal parts parody and love letter to Shakespeare\, the play celebrates the Bard by making his works accessible and irresistibly fun for actors and audiences alike. \n*This production includes occasional mature humor\, suggestive language\, and playful irreverence toward classic texts. Viewers should be comfortable with comedic material that may include sexual innuendo\, strong language\, and staged violence/gore. \n  \n$20.00 General Admission Price \nApproximately 2 hours\, exact runtime TBD \n  \nPresenting Our Troupe: \nBrendan Cuddihee \nCrista Drysdale \nAmanda Matousek \nRichard Miller \nJonathan Monroe \nJason Vaughan \npasadenatheatrecompany@gmail.com \n443-274-7743
