Artists Inspired by Place and the Past, Connecting to the Present

Registration required.

How are artists inspired by the places around them? Why do so many artists choose to call Baltimore home? What conversations emerge when artworks from different times are displayed together? Artists Jessy DeSantis, Herb Massie, Jackie Milad, and René Treviño sit down to discuss these and other questions with Dr. Gina Borromeo, Senior Director of Collections and Curatorial Affairs and Senior Curator of Ancient Art. Join us for an engaging conversation about how the subjects of place and the past inform living artists’ work in the present and for the future. The program includes a Q&A session, followed by mingling in the Museum Cafe.

This discussion is inspired by and connects to the BmoreArt publication City of Artists: Baltimore and the Walters Art Museum’s exhibition Reflect & Remix: Art Inspiring Artists. Reflect & Remix displays artworks that resonate with the past while reflecting their own present moment. This exhibition is on view in our Temporary Exhibition gallery through September 8, 2024.
