The Patricia Massey Momentum Award supports emerging immigrant visual artists living in Maryland whose work reflects their cultural heritage and lived experiences. Open to artists working in visual arts disciplines, the award provides financial support, exhibition opportunities, and a platform for immigrant artists to share their work with the broader community while supporting the continued growth and visibility of their artistic practices.  Three artists will be selected through this process: two finalists and one Patricia Massey Momentum Award recipient. The award recipient will receive a $10,000 award and participate in public programming with Creative Alliance, and all three artists will present their work together in a group exhibition at Creative Alliance. 

This award is made possible by the McNeely Massey Family. 

This year marks the fourth year of Unidos En El Arte, Creative Alliance's annual exhibition celebrating Latino artists in Baltimore and beyond. What began as a single show has grown into a tradition, one built on supportive relationships between artists, families, and neighbors in Highlandtown and across the city. The exhibition brings together work that merges craft and fine art, honoring both heritage and experimentation. Join us for the grand opening on October 16 at 6pm. Unidos has never been just an exhibition; it is a community that shows up for its artists.
