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:AACC Cade Art Gallery Exhibit "Green"
DESCRIPTION:Green \nAACC’s 2026 National Juried Art Exhibition \n  \nDATES: April 28 — July 14\, 2026  \n  \nOPENING RECEPTION: April 29\, 5 — 7 pm with juror remarks at 6 pm. \n  \n“Nature’s first green is gold.” — Robert Frost \n“It’s not easy being green.” — Kermit the Frog \n\nJoin us for Cade Art Gallery’s 2026 National Juried Art Exhibition\, Green\, juried by New York-based art historian and curator Roberto C. Ferrari. Featuring a range of artworks in painting\, sculpture\, ceramics\, textiles\, printmaking\, photography\, and video\, the exhibition asks us to consider how this hue and its saturation and values appeal to the senses\, and how Green can address issues ranging from nature and health to politics and religion. Green can also be represented in its most abstract form\, and the absence of Green can be as important as its presence. \n\nOak leaves waving from the limbs of a tree\, grass underfoot\, pine needles glistening with dew. Green is nature\, the flora that grows from the earth\, nourished by sunlight and fed by rain. Parsley\, sage\, thyme. Green is an herbaceous taste that tingles the tongue with savor. A combination of blue and yellow\, a complement of red. Green is a secondary hue that has permeated the history of painting: Mrs. Arnolfini’s enveloping gown; the forests of Poussin and the waterlilies of Monet; Matisse’s stripe of a shadow and Kelly’s purist field of color; Van Gogh’s anxious landscapes and Salman Toor’s queer acidic spaces. Camouflage: protection or aggression? Verdigris: decay or patination? Phlegm\, mold\, corrosion. Green is organic and sickly\, a sign of the need for a cure. Patriotism\, eco-nationalism\, spirituality. Green is a symbol in the hearts and minds of the People. Celadon\, emerald\, moss. Green is style and sophistication. \nARTISTS ON VIEW IN GREEN: \nJoshua Able-Carter\, Abol Bahadori\, Lisa Battle\, Graig Bracey\, Patricia Buck\, Keith Buswell\, Eva Carson\, Gerard Dalbon\, Ben Dimock\, Janessa Douds\, Ruth Douzinas\, Carol Foerster\, Robert Forte\, Thomas Gisriel\,  Kristine Goldenberg\, Ryan Graham\, Yen Ha\, Carlos Hidalgo\, Alexis Irby\, Sumin Joo\, Moritz Kellerman\, Clover Kemp\, Stacy Leeman\, Joan Lesikin\, Jaden La Rocque\, Xi Liu\, Daniele Lorio\, Susan MacDonald\, Beau McCall\, Chayel Moses\, Nolan Noble\, Ali Osborn\, Vince Quevedo\, Kylie Robinson\, Eleazar Sanchez\, Dandora Sillah\, Gloria Solomon\, Ann Stoddard\, Susanne Tierney\, Kathleen Thompson\, Barbara Wallace\, Scrap Wrenn. \n  \nABOUT THE JUROR: \nRoberto C. Ferrari is the Curator of Art Properties at Columbia University. He holds a Ph.D. in art history from the Graduate Center\, City University of New York\, and has worked at such prominent institutions as the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He is the guest curator\, with Sophie Lynford\, of the first US exhibition on the queer Jewish artist Simeon Solomon (1840–1905)\, scheduled to open at the Delaware Art Museum in 2027. \nJoin us for an opening reception and juror remarks on Wednesday\, April 29\, 5 – 7 pm.  \n  \nIMAGE IDENTIFICATIONS: \nVincent Quevedo\nNimble\n2025\nQuilt \n  \nEleazar Sanchez\nConverging Realities II\n2025\nAcrylic\, gold leaf\, 8ply board \n  \nDandora Sillah\nRooted Relays\n2024\nOil and acrylic \n  \nScrap Wrenn\nOld Kings Wonder\n2022\nAcrylic medium and paper original photographs on panel \n  \nVISIT THE GALLERY:  \nThrough June 11: Monday – Thursday\, 8:30 – 4:30 pm. \nSummer hours\, June 16 – July 14: Tuesday – Thursday\, 8:30 – 4:30 pm. \n  \nABOUT THE CADE ART GALLERY: \nThe Cade Center for Fine Arts Gallery is on Anne Arundel Community College’s Arnold campus at 101 College Parkway.  Located on the main floor of the Cade building on West Campus\, the Cade Art Gallery at AACC features five exhibitions a year.

SUMMARY:Legacy & Light: Chesapeake Arts Center's 25th Anniversary Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Chesapeake Arts Center’s 25th Anniversary celebration\, the Legacy & Light Exhibitions honor the artists\, stories\, and creative vision that have shaped CAC over the past quarter century—while looking ahead to the next generation of artistic expression. \nThe Legacy Exhibition brings together past CAC artists working in a wide range of disciplines\, including oil\, photography\, ceramics\, woodworking\, textiles\, mixed media\, watercolor\, and acrylic. These works reflect the depth\, diversity\, and lasting impact of the artistic community that has grown alongside CAC since its founding in 2001. \nThe Light exhibition will feature an exploration of light as both a medium and concept\, and artwork that glows under a UV/blacklight. CAC has illuminated pathways for artistic expression and community connection over the past 25 years\, and Light is essential to how we experience art—it shapes perception\, highlights detail\, and creates atmosphere—but it also symbolizes something larger: clarity\, possibility\, and forward movement. This exhibition invites artists to step into a reimagined space—one that symbolizes innovation\, experimentation\, and the evolving future of the arts at CAC. In this exhibition\, what was once unseen becomes visible\, reminding us that the future is not fixed\, but something we create together. \nApplications will be accepted through Friday\, May 29\,2026. \nReception is June 25\, 2026 from 6-8pm and open to the public.
