Art Seminar Group online lecture:

William Merritt Chase and the International Style with Aneta Georgievska-Shine, professor of art history, University of Maryland

With a career that straddled two continents and two centuries, William Merritt Chase (1849–1916) was in many respects “a citizen of the world.” Renowned in international art circles, he was a brilliant observer of contemporary life, an innovative painter, and an influential teacher. His multifaceted practice ranged from striking portraits and still lifes to glorious urban park scenes, landscapes, and interiors.

Join us for a special evening with Misty Copeland, the first African American female Principal Dancer with the prestigious American Ballet Theatre and New York Times best selling author. In conversation with Kimberly R. Moffitt, Dean of the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at UMBC, Copeland will explore a variety of topics related to dance and her career.

Join us at the Schaefer Ballroom on March 7, 9, and 10 for Expressions ‘24: The Cornerstone. As our historic building reaches its centennial in 2024, we are marking this significant milestone by celebrating its role as a transformative space for youth of Baltimore City, nurturing their artistic, intellectual, and personal growth. Our esteemed alumni have launched their remarkable journeys from this very place.

The documentary film by Real News Network investigative reporters Stephen Janis and Taya Graham probes Baltimore’s use of special tax incentives that the reporters found have mostly benefitted the wealthy and worsened the economic and housing inequities in the city.

Join Stephen Janis, Taya Graham, and Jayne Miller in conversation with Ashley Esposito of Baltimore Renters United as we discuss the film in detail and how you can be involved in making change in Baltimore! We will engage in a town hall dialog inspired by the movie, generated by you!

SPEAKER BIOS

Dive into an immersive experience via grounding the body through art, sound, meditation, and more. The flow of this workshop provides focus and calm to the participants, so they walk away with tangible techniques to better their mental health. The program is circular: breath (meditation), mandala-making (art), then group reflection on the process of making the art and its emotional effects. Jeanne Marie will then lead her sound session, and another art-making experience will stem from the effects of the sound on participants, followed by a group discussion and closing breath.

Does your little one dance every chance they get? Do you find them doing turns in the middle of the grocery store or spinning around during playtime at the park? If so, you may have a budding dancer on your hands! It's not uncommon for young children to express themselves through movement and rhythm, and embracing their love for dance can foster creativity, coordination, and self-expression. Encouraging their passion for dancing by enrolling them in a beginner's dance class can help nurture their talent and provide them with an outlet for self-expression. For ages 4 - 6.

This dance class about our relationship to the floor invites all levels of experience and is geared toward people who are curious to discover deeper connection and relationship to their bodies in dynamic motion. Learn how to use the support of the floor to your advantage, explore how your anatomy (particularly soft tissue and joints) can support finding easeful pathways into and out of the floor movement, and discover patterns useful for changing levels and falling.
