Have you wanted to work with clay but haven't had the opportunity? Bmore Clay Series is a Black and queer-led program created to present an alternative to predominantly white ceramic spaces and provide work opportunities with clay. We host accessible, diverse, intro to hand-building workshops created for communities of color in Baltimore. This workshop is open to everyone.
This drop-in figure drawing course is suitable for all skill levels. Untrained new artists will learn multiple approaches to figure drawing while seasoned artists will have the opportunity to hone their skills and further train their eye. Each class will feature a nude model and begin with quick gesture poses. The remaining time will be spent on the artistry of longer poses. The goal is to train all artists to more quickly and fluidly capture the gesture of the entire figure.

Experience what emerges when Black artists from Baltimore City blend their arts practices with the rich Black arts of Bahia, Brasil. The shared roots of the African Diaspora will be shaking beneath our dancing feet! This is a kickoff event for A GENTE, an artist residency in Baltimore and Bahia that is all about artistic co-creation, inner healing through faith and love, and social imagination. Blending capoeira in the street out front of the Creative Alliance with Black Assets’ vocals and TWZ’s live painting, our artists will have you moved. You will have the chance to take part in sending these Baltimore artists to Bahia, Brasil in November 2024 by donating or bidding in an art auction featuring artists from across the Diaspora.

Musical instruments have helped us communicate and express ourselves since the beginning of human culture. Learning about the musical instruments of the ancient Americas and building and playing our own instruments helps us to awaken the memory of our connection to nature, cultivate presence through the working with clay, and experience joy through sound and music-making. In this hands-on workshop we will learn about musical instruments that have been made across Central and South America for thousands of years and learn to build our own working clay flutes.

Los instrumentos musicales nos han ayudado a comunicar y expresarnos desde los comienzos de la cultura humana. Al construir nuestros propios instrumentos artesanales despertamos la memoria de nuestra conexión con la naturaleza, cultivamos presencia a través de trabajar el barro, y experimentamos alegría a con el sonido y la música. En este taller aprenderemos sobre instrumentos milenarios de Centroamérica y América del Sur y construiremos nuestras propias flautas con arcilla. Todos los materiales y herramientas están incluidos. ¡No se requiere experiencia previa con arcilla, instrumentos ni música!
