This Wednesday, February 17, 2021 at 6 pm, the Baltimore Museum of Art will host a virtual reception for this year’s 10x10 Arts Every Day exhibition. The reception will be aired on the The Baltimore Museum of Art's Facebook page and Youtube channel.
Through the CADVC’s collaboration with Arts Every Day and generous funding from the UMBC Charlesmead Initiative for Arts Education, the CADVC’s Educational Outreach Program presented their fifth annual 10x10 exhibition with the theme of, VOICE. The show features over 130 works of art created by students and teachers from Baltimore City Schools. Participants created each artwork in response to Gillian Laub's art activism methods as exhibited in Southern Rites at CADVC’s gallery at UMBC last fall and with the ideas of using art to inform, create discourse, and further understanding. Our ongoing virtual exhibition of Southern Rites is still available for on our website.
To view virtual 10x10 VOICE exhibition, the list of participating Baltimore City Schools, and to learn more about the 10x10 youth curators visit:

Call for student artwork for SPARK IV: A New World?
UMBC and Towson undergraduate and graduate students with visual art major concentrations are invited to submit artwork for consideration for the fourth installment of the collaborative SPARK exhibition and related programming, SPARK IV: A New World? April 29 through June 26, 2021.
With A New World? as our theme, we seek artworks that are inspired by the events and conditions of 2020 and the associated implications for the future.
Conceptual, representational, experimental, or abstract work responding to this theme in any media will be considered for the exhibition and related video screening(s).
1/26/21: Though this fourth installment of Spark has a theme, ���a new world���, I want to encourage you to consider it broadly. Do you have work that addresses climate change, countercultural philosophy or history, political activism, racial justice, deep listening, or other kinds of observational or meditative practice through art, or other responses to the condition of the last year? Please consider submitting as I will curate the exhibition, and accompanying video screening, according to the currents evident in the work submitted. ���Catherine Borg, SPARK Curator
A limited number of student contributions will hang in the MAP gallery alongside work from Towson and UMBC faculty, while a more expansive presentation of student work will be presented in an online extension of the exhibition (or expansion, as a virtual version of the gallery exhibition, is likely due to Covid restrictions) accessed via the Maryland Art Place website.
Students who apply will also be considered for a SPARK Student Award with a stipend of $50 to $250. There is no cost to submit work for consideration.
MAP gallery space images and floorplan can be viewed here.

The goal is to strengthen the social science grant pipeline, support faculty who might be the only ones in their department working in a field, connect faculty looking for a reviewer from another discipline, and to foster collaborative research relationships in the social science community.
Faculty seeking a review must also volunteer to be listed in the directory to review proposals of others, except for non-tenured faculty and faculty who have not yet received an external award. Reviewers need at least two weeks of lead time to complete a review. They may also decline to review a proposal if it falls outside of their expertise, if they have serious time constraints, or if there is a conflict of interest. Faculty should not wait for a review to be concluded to approach MIPAR about their proposals. Be sure to follow the CAHSS proposal timeline.
The directory will be published on the Center's website. Faculty members are added to the directory on a rolling basis. To be added to the directory, please contact Felipe Filomeno at filomeno@umbc.edu.
