Artist Retreat 2016 ORG CONTEMPORARY. ARTIST RETREAT 2016 #CAMPTC16 2 Introduction 3 The Contemporary Team 4 Artists 9 Consultants 15 Guests 17 Speakers + Seminars 18 Schedule at a Glance 19 Main Building Map 20 Campus Map — Places to Know — Emergency Contacts Welcome to The Contemporary’s inaugural Artist Retreat, convening 50 Baltimore artists and dozens of national arts consultants including critics, curators, gallerists, and collectors, for three days of intensive professional development, community building, and networking. We believe that this weekend will be a testament to the richness of the field and the power of community, and we kindly ask that you be open, present, and engaged. This retreat is inspired by the important cultural work happening in Baltimore, and is generously supported by the Robert W. Deutsch Foundation and Surdna Foundation. The Contemporary is a nomadic, non-collecting art museum based in Baltimore, Maryland. Our mission expands the idea of a museum as an incubator that commissions site-specific and subject-oriented projects. We engage diverse audiences and advance contemporary art through projects and educational programming. Our work is inspired by three guiding principles: artists matter, collaboration is key, and audience is everywhere.

The works include site-specific temporary and permanent installations, as well as three works on long-term loan from the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C. Hirshhorn Sculpture Loans (now on view) Lunar Bird by Joan Miró, 1945, Wheeler Courtyard, West Building Three Red Lines by George Rickey, 1966, The Plaza Untitled by Ellsworth Kelly, 1986, South Lawn, West Building Three monumental sculptures by masters of 20th-century art—Joan Miró, George Rickey, and Ellsworth Kelly—arrived in August on long-term loan from the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C. Installed in various sites around West Building, including the entrance Plaza, front lawn, and North Garden, these works animate the NCMA landscape with a diverse array of artistic expression. Lunar Bird by Joan Miró resembles ancient votive sculptures and reflects his interest in the cosmos, with its crescent moon–shaped face and arms reaching toward the sky. A figure in the early-20th-century surrealist art movement, Miró saw art as a way for the subconscious mind to express itself.

  • DRAFT - for Public Comment
    DRAFT - For Public Comment Baltimore Together A Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy DRAFT - For Public Comment August 2, 2021 1 DRAFT - For Public Comment Building the New Economy in Baltimore This economic development plan identifies critically important goals to strengthen Baltimore City’s economy and create new opportunities for residents and businesses. It outlines strategies and tactics for reaching those goals, and the Baltimore Together team hopes this document will serve as a call to action and roadmap for a range of partners over the next five years. If we choose not to adopt the strategies in this report and continue on our current path, the outcomes are bleak. The city will continue to experience extreme racial disparities. Small businesses will struggle. Residents will continue to leave the city, and neighborhoods will decline. Baltimore will miss the opportunity to lead in key sectors, forgoing significant economic benefits for its residents and tax base. We can and must do better. Please join us as we work to build a new, inclusive, and thriving economy in our city. Go to the Baltimore Together website and sign up to get involved. About Baltimore Together Baltimore Together is a public-private initiative led by the Baltimore Development Corporation to support the creation of a common vision of inclusive economic growth in our city. Through a thoughtful and intentional process, a diverse group of stakeholders developed a Baltimore Together vision: Baltimore will show the world how to create an urban economy that is based on diversity, inclusion, and resiliency and uplifts historically excluded Baltimoreans, while attracting investment, businesses, and people committed to contributing to an equitable economy.

Her mother was a poet, as were many close friends. We know from well-worn books in Mitchell’s library that Rilke was a favorite. Looking at the artist portraits and stories that follow in this book, we at the Foundation also turned to Rilke, a poet known for his letters of advice to a young artist.
