Artscape

Artscape, "America's largest, free, public arts festival" is just around the corner (July 18-20), and if you love art, it's a great time to be in Baltimore. I have work in Subjective Sensibilities, an off-site exhibition at Stevenson University (Villa Julie College), along with artists Linda Day Clark, Suzanne Herbert-Forton, Chevelle Moore Jones, and Rachel Wolfson. The show opens this week, and there's a reception on Thursday, July 10 from 6 to 8 p.m. If any readers are local, I'd love to see you there!
