We'd love to thank the two great classes from the Maryland Institute College of Art and the Community College of Baltimore County that came to the exhibition today. The students from Kimberly Graham's Intro to Curatorial Studies from MICA and Nicole Buckingham Kern's Curation and Coordination from CCBC were delightful to have in the space and their comments and feedback were much appreciated. Thanks for stopping by!
