The Art of Protest: Now Open for Entry
|
|
Introducing The Art of Protest
From the Sons of Liberty to the suffragettes, from “Hell No, We Won’t Go” to “Black Lives Matter”, protest is an American value consecrated in the First Amendment. And art has expressed the protests of the times through signs, paintings, posters, cartoons, sculpture, photography and more. The Maryland Federation of Art (MFA) invites all artists to express their opinions through art in all media in an all-hang exhibition to debut on July 4 through August 4, 2020.
MFA will donate 50% of profits made on this show to the First Amendment Coalition, a non-profit dedicated to protecting and promoting freedom of expression and people’s right to know. For more information on the Coalition,

Maryland Hall Call for Artists Still Open!
|
|
Maryland Hall is beginning to envision arts programming to serve its greater community through the summer and fall 2020. They know they need to adapt what they do in a creative and even more collaborative way in order to more safely meet the artistic and enrichment demands of our neighbors. They want to tackle this ever shifting landscape in partnership with the artists inside and outside of Annapolis, crafting new outlets for artistic expression and experimentation. It is their hope this request for artistic proposals will lead to new ideas and new ways of using Maryland Hall’s assets together with the creativity of our community to feed our collective artistic needs.
To submit a proposal for consideration, please read the Request for Artists Proposals (linked above) then fill out the
application form
. Upon receipt, a member of Maryland Hall’s Creative Advancement team may be in touch for further clarification.
