Community Calendar

Join us for an evening celebration of student artwork and creativity! We welcome students, families, teachers, school staff, and the general public to the closing reception of Baltimore, Imagined: Artists from the Baltimore Leadership School for Young Women. This annual exhibition, which is on view in our Sculpture Court from May 28 to June 5, is curated by Baltimore Leadership School for Young Women (BLSYW) teacher Caroline Cook and her students. The show highlights BLSYW students’ best work from the school year, including some artworks inspired by the Walters’ new installation of Latin American Art / Arte Latinoamericano. Light refreshments will be provided.

Make a decorative bandana to convey who you are and what makes you unique! Take inspiration from René Treviño’s artwork This cape is FLY to explore the different ways people express their intersectionality and pride. René Treviño’s work is on view in conjunction with the installation Latin American Art / Arte Latinoamericano.

First Thursdays: Make and Mingle is a drop-in program designed for adults to get creative and socialize. We supply all the materials to make art together. A selection of food and drink will be available for purchase, so you can enjoy a glass of wine, coffee, or a snack while you’re crafting. College students can show their student ID for one free cup of coffee. Shop at the Museum Store after you’re done creating and receive a 10% discount on store purchases (20% for supporters). Not a supporter? Give today!

A selection of approximately 40 paintings, prints, and drawings from the BMA’s collection explores the role of water and landscape in defining the early modern Dutch Republic.

The water’s edge was a site of rich and often fraught ideas, where environmental, economic, political, and social narratives came to the fore. It also served as a site of immense inspiration for Dutch artists such as Frans Hals, Rembrandt van Rijn, Jacob van Ruisdael, and Salomon Van Ruysdael, among many others. Landscapes depicting harbors, trade, travel, and leisure abounded, as did the production of maps, still lifes, and portraits. Together, these images offer insight into the identity of the young Dutch Republic.

This focus exhibition of 10 works explores the relationship between burning fossil fuels—namely, coal—and the emergence of European modernism. Drawing on research conducted by climate scientists and art historians, the exhibition presents a range of paintings and works on paper by Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, James McNeill Whistler, and others to explore the ways that their artistic practices and style emerged, in part, in response to widespread pollution in London and Paris.
Presented as part of the Turn Again to the Earth environmental initiative.

Witness the powerful photography of Baltimore-based artist Devin Allen, whose black-and-white images capture the raw emotion of the Baltimore uprisings that followed Freddie Gray’s death a decade ago in 2015. Documenting a defining moment in Baltimore’s history, Allen reveals both the pain and strength of its people. See these images—rarely on display—in remembrance of Gray’s life.

A stunning exhibition of monumental paintings and works on paper, breathtaking films, and poignant child-size sculptures by artists exploring questions of history, power, climate change, and social and environmental justice.

The immersive “Protect This Earth” installation that turned heads at Milan Design Week is making its U.S. debut—exclusively at the Under Armour Brand House in Baltimore.

Under Armour and zero-plastic pioneer UNLESS have teamed up on a first-of-its-kind capsule: a fully regenerative sportswear collection made entirely from plants. No plastic. No waste. Designed to perform—then decompose.

THE DETAILS
Location: Under Armour Brand House, 101 Performance Dr., Baltimore
Launch Date: April 22 (Earth Day)
Store Hours: 10 AM – 9 PM
Availability: In-store only through mid-June or until sold out. Not available online or any other retail locations.

The capsule features hoodies, tees, and shorts across men’s, women’s, and unisex styles ($30–$160). Select elements of the original Milan installation—including the immersive “Protect This Earth” experience—will be reimagined in-store, giving visitors a deeper look at the product lifecycle from plants to performance to compost.

This is just the beginning—the next evolution of sportswear made for athletes and built for the planet.
