March 25-April 10, 2010
Each semester CADVC partners with several K-12 schools and/or after school programs from Baltimore City and area counties. Through our Educational Outreach Program our interns provide instruction in arts curriculum based on CADVC’s exhibition program. For the spring 2010 program CADVC interns taught photography classes at Baltimore School for the Arts in Baltimore City, Lansdowne High School Academy: Arts & Communications in Baltimore County, and two Baltimore City after school programs: St. Francis Neighborhood Power Project and Banner Neighborhoods Art Club.
The participating classes from each school began the program with a visit to UMBC to tour CADVC’s exhibition Dana Hoey: Experiments in Primitive Living. During several weeks of studio work back in the classroom, participating students created artwork in response to the Dana Hoey exhibition. Their artwork in photography and video resulted in the exhibition, EXPOSURE: Experiments in Photography. EXPOSURE was exhibited in the Fine Arts hall gallery over the next several weeks.
CADVC invited all high school participants, their parents, teachers and administrators to kick-off the exhibition with an opening reception with light refreshments on Thursday, March 25, 2010 in the hall art gallery just outside the CADVC from 5 to 7 pm. An award ceremony was held at 5:30 pm.
Additional support for the exhibition and educational outreach programs comes from the Baltimore County Commission on Arts and Sciences.
