The Baltimore Museum of Art is currently hosting three fall exhibitions that celebrate the multifaceted artistic landscape of the region. These exhibitions offer visitors unique ways to engage with the city of Baltimore and the state of Maryland through various mediums, including photography, paintings, poetry, and weavings.
One of the featured shows, "Flashback: Two Centuries of Baltimore Photography," will be on display through February 21, 2027. "Jerrell Gibbs: Come home with me" is also on view until May 2, 2027. Additionally, "Diedrick Brackens: lights at the end of the world" incorporates the poetry of Baltimore writer Jöel Díaz and runs until February 28, 2027.
These exhibitions underscore a strategic focus by the museum's director, Asma Naeem, to highlight local artistic excellence. This approach aligns with a broader trend in museums to give more visibility to regional artists, both in solo shows and integrated within larger collections. The programming specifically features the work of Baltimore natives Jerrell Gibbs and Devin Allen, whose lives have been connected to the city for decades.
