Join us for the opening reception of Yours, Mine, and Ours: Works by the Strong and Sensitive.
Yours, Mine, and Ours offers the works of the 2024 cohort of Our Art Room Artist Collective (OAR). OAR’s culminating exhibition reflects the growing Baltimore network that adapts to the needs of its constituents and their professional futures. The exhibition embraces the labor of love in building mutualism, forging reciprocal relationships, and establishing holistically supportive environments for the modern creative. Yours, Mine, and Ours coalesces around themes of care, stewardship of land, and spiritual healing. OAR offers that the urge to build a new creative world is a collaborative endeavor that must also be principled, honest, and a challenge to the marginal bars of the ‘art world’, its institutions, and its decaying standards.
Our Art Room is a critique series and collective of Baltimore-based women, femmes, and gender non-conforming emerging artists founded in 2023. The collective is an annual incubator for growing artists to expand networks, share resources, and have accountability to their practices. OAR addresses how race, class, and gender inform one’s access to social privileges and levels of mobility in the ‘art world’. The spirit of the collective seeks to bypass the barriers to financial education and the unspoken codes of conduct that are intentionally gate kept from the intersections of these identities. In consideration of this, OAR artists are committed to showing up for others in a community context, advancing professionally in their practices, and cultivating an authentic artistic voice. Partnering with Baltimore organizations, Our Art Room hosts free and accessible professional development and creative workshops to their artists and the greater Baltimore community.
