As Glenn Walker: In the Room and Beyond comes to a close, The Peale celebrates the impact this exhibition has had on Baltimore’s arts community — and the renewed attention it has brought to one of the city’s most fascinating and fearless artists.
Nearly seventy years after Glenn Walker’s work was censored by Baltimore’s mayor, his art returned to The Peale to inspire conversation, reflection, and pride. Over the past month, visitors from across the region have rediscovered Walker’s bold humor, his eye for character, and his love for everyday Baltimore life.
A Successful Exhibition and a Living Legacy
We’re thrilled to share that several of Walker’s paintings have found new homes with collectors and supporters who value preserving his legacy. Interest in his work has been strong, and we anticipate additional sales in the days ahead. Each purchase helps ensure that Walker’s art continues to live on — not only in the homes of collectors but in the programs and initiatives of The Peale itself.
Proceeds from these art sales directly support The Peale’s community-driven exhibitions and storytelling initiatives, helping us continue to provide a platform for Baltimore’s diverse voices, past and present.
Continuing the Story
We are deeply grateful to Buzz Cusak for his generosity and partnership, and to everyone who visited, shared, or purchased artwork in support of this important moment in Baltimore’s cultural history.
