MFACA First Year Show

First year MFA in Community Arts students present work in the Fox 3 Gallery through March 2 with an opening reception on Fri Feb. 21 from 5-7pm.

The MFA in Community Arts (MFACA) program consists of a diverse group of artists interested in building sustainable relationships in and beyond Baltimore through art and social justice praxis.  The Community Arts program is housed at 足球游戏_中国足彩网¥体育资讯 PLACE, the program's satellite campus in East Baltimore.  The goal of MFACA is to work dialogically with local leaders; to realize projects that reflect the community's interests, dreams, and needs for their respective neighborhoods; and to nurture the artistic vision of its MFA candidates as a vehicle for empowering change.  Join us on Friday, February 21 at the opening of 足球游戏_中国足彩网¥体育资讯 PLACE: The East Side of Things, Fox 3 Gallery, 5-7 PM.  The projects included in the exhibition are inspired by the Toxic Tour, a two-hour-long bus tour of East Baltimore, led by community urban environmental activist Glenn Ross, that raises awareness of place-based, social and environmental issues (e.g. resident displacement, environmental hazards, lack of appreciation for local talents and cultures, etc.). The show will run February 21-March 2. The included community art pieces offer a glimpse into the ongoing partnerships that MFACA students have developed with East Baltimore residents and organizations over the past semester.
