The BIG Show Opening Reception 2023

Did you know that The BIG Show was the very first Creative Alliance program? That first event led to twenty-five years of artistic expression, community, cultivation of young minds, and so much joy.

This event is all about our incredibly talented members, those that have just joined Creative Alliance and those that have been with us since the beginning and are at the heart of our organization. Nothing can stop our members from creating and sharing their art with the world. This exhibition and show are designed to celebrate your artistic voice, creativity, and imagination!

Welcome to Hell: Art Exhibition by George Halkias

How often do you think about the Afterlife? Is it real, is it awesome, is it scary…..is it safe? Baltimore-based artist George Halkias explores these ideas, fueled by two things he’s obsessed with: death and organized religion. He’s always scared, but his brother, NY-based comedian Stavros Halkias is helping him be brave by putting together a show of his artworks created this past year. Join the Halkias brothers and check out Welcome To Hell, an art exhibition.

Susan Lowe: Curtains Exhibition

The exhibition Curtains is an exhibition about family and masks in figurative and literal. Masks are featured in the exhibition. This collection of work is dedicated to Susan Lowe's grandson Devin who passed away from leukemia in 2017. 

Lowe felt compelled to construct a series of paintings that depict images of objects she saw every day when she visited Devin in the hospital: curtains, hallways, windows, stairs, and doors. Curtains were disturbing to the artist because the sound of the swish of the curtain was heard and seen—ominous. Many other images depict ideas of passage, water, bridges, rafts, and idyllic landscapes.
