SUMMARY:The Temple of Our Survival: Alisha B. Wormsley Installation\, Performance & Conversation
DESCRIPTION:As the nation marks 250 years since its founding\, we are called to ask: whose survival made this nation possible? Join artist Alisha B. Wormsley for a special activation of The Temple of Our Survival (Children of NAN: A Survival Guide)—a mobile cinematic altar and gathering space dedicated to Black femme survival\, care\, and reMatriation. Presented in collaboration with artist Tsedaye Makonnen and harpist Megan-Joie Coleman\, this immersive event brings together ritual\, sound\, and collective storytelling as an act of historical reckoning and remembrance. \nThe program will feature a live ritual performance honoring Black femme survival\, including a guided group dreaming meditation and opportunities for audience members to participate by reading their own survival stories alongside those of historical Black femmes from Maryland and beyond — centering voices that the official record of nationhood too often left out. \nThe event will conclude with a panel conversation on the project and the ongoing practices of Black femme survival\, moderated by curator Martina Dodd\, exploring what it means to commemorate 250 years through the lens of those who were never meant to survive it — and did.

SUMMARY:Queer Annapolis: A Historical Walking Tour of Love\, Resistance\, and Community
DESCRIPTION:Long before the Stonewall Uprising\, and far beyond New York and California\, queer people have lived\, loved\, and shaped American history. From the nation’s earliest days\, LGBTQ+ individuals have been part of Maryland’s story\, even when their lives were pushed into the shadows. This guided walking tour explores over three hundred years of LGBTQ+ history\, pairing familiar landmarks with often-overlooked stories: from a Revolutionary War general to an African American schoolteacher. Join historian Dr. Chris Mielke as we honor those who challenged norms\, built community\, and were brave enough to be themselves. \nThe tour will begin at The People’s Park at 44 Calvert Street and end at the Museum of Historic Annapolis at 99 Main Street. At the conclusion of the tour\, a small reception will be held at the Museum\, featuring light refreshments and an opportunity to continue the conversation. \nPlease wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather\, as the tour is held rain or shine. The tour route is approximately 1.25 miles long and includes elevation changes and uneven walking surfaces. \nAdvance registration required; space is limited. Recommended for ages 13+.

SUMMARY:Art Salon with Suzi Cordish
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE JOIN US FOR THIS VERY SPECIAL ARTS MONTH EVENT! \nAs part of our ARTS MONTH celebration\, the Arts Council of Anne Arundel County invites you to a very special glimpse into an incredible local art collection. During the event\, Mrs. Cordish will discuss the collection\, followed by a tour of highlighted artwork. \nThe Cordish Art Collection\, a 40+ piece contemporary art collection by world-renowned artists\, including Andy Warhol\, described by The New York Times as an art museum experience in the comfort of a hotel. The theme of the collection is FUN\, and fun is what entices Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland guests return again and again. This multi-disciplined exhibit of artworks displayed throughout the hotel and casino conveys a sense of playfulness\, energy\, and excitement. The works unify our community of guests with joy\, wonder\, and beauty. \nMrs. Cordish believes art can transform one’s spirit and outlook\, and with that conviction in mind\, she set out to assemble an exhibit for the newly expanded Live! Casino Hotel. Her first find was $ (9): One Plate\, by Andy Warhol. She procured this screen monoprint in 2015 at an auction in New York. The playful dollar signs against a bright red background offer a nice wink to casino goers\, as well as to the brand’s signature red color. The piece is perfect for the setting. \nShe collected other works from there\, juxtaposing local Baltimore artists like Chul-Hyun Ayn with internationally based sculptors and painters. Though the collection features some of the most important contemporary artists working today\, relevance to the art world was not the driving standard behind her selections. \nThe conveyance of humor and fun influenced all acquisitions so that together they would represent the Cordish family’s inherent energy and happiness. Nothing means more to the Cordish Family than surprising and delighting their guests. We hope you can come join us for this very special and FUN event!
