Upcoming Exhibitions
“Out of the Woodwork!” invites you to immerse yourself in the vibrant and whimsical world of Baltimore’s beloved artist, Thomas Patton Miller (1945–2000). Known for pioneering the distinctive “Afro-Deco” style, Miller’s art fused the elegance of Art Deco with the vibrancy of African American cultural motifs, creating a dynamic dialogue between heritage and modernity. Tom Miller’s genius is best known for transforming discarded furniture—often made of wood—into stunning works of art inspired by loved ones, his beloved city, and Black history.
COLAB: Art and Music from Baltimore and Beyond will showcase works on loan from significant collections of African American art and artists. Hilary Pierce, the Visual Art Curator has carefully selected pieces that encompass a diverse range of styles, subjects, and mediums designing the COLAB digital catalog.
Under the guidance of Music Curator Sean Jones, professional musicians and emerging artists from the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University will review the COLAB digital catalog. These musical collaborators will select music from any genre that resonates with both themselves and the artworks, providing written commentaries on their music and art pairings, which will be integrated into the exhibition’s content.
