Just me and a few of my fellow photo pals casually hanging out. I mean, that is, Baltimore photographers representing at the opening of Flashback: Two Centuries of Baltimore Photography at the Baltimore Museum of Art (@baltimoremuseumofart). So grateful to be part of such a vibrant crew.

I want to thank everyone who has supported me from day one. Especially my amazing partner @phyliciaghee, a fellow artist who helped me with every element of this show — from editing to photo selection, grief support and so much more. This process truly took a village: personal insight, community insight, and guidance from @carly_fischer at the Center for Art and Advocacy. Thank you for trusting my vision.

Thank you to my friend, Artist and former cohort @ohsaskia for her help and support as well. And thank you to @billgaaskins for seeing my work and giving me a chance to enter grad school. I had people at home who tried to make me not see my work and did not give me a chance. So to all artists — please keep going. Continue to make work in the face of discouragement. Trust your spirit and trust your work. I made my work with no political backing, no daddy money, no budget, no newspaper, no media pass to enter any place — just my heart.

Collaborating with Mr. Parks has been very important to me. It shows the importance of masculine and feminine collaboration not just on a physical level, but on a spiritual one.

Thank you to the men who are not afraid to work with women.!

Thank you to all the people who would buy Kemet shirts from me back in 2015-2018🙏🏾 apologize for all the photo dumping just had a lot of people to thank!

Photo Credit Thank you so Much for capturing so many beautiful moments @photographer_jefryandreswright 📸!

On Thursday, August 14, photographer Regina DeLuise will present her work at “Meet the Artist,” led in conversation by photographer Saskia Kahn. DeLuise and Kahn will discuss the nature of large-format and palladium picture making, sustaining a photographic practice over decades, and DeLuise's experience of publishing her first monograph, "The Hands of My Friends" (Saint Lucy Books, 2024). Through this book, DeLuise brings to light her long-held belief that “loving what you love will lead you to your life.” Books will be available for purchase.

RSVP link in bio.
August 14, 2025. Doors at 5:30pm. Talk 6-7pm. FREE. Live stream, CPW YouTube, 6pm.

Guggenheim Fellow and Faculty Emerita at Maryland Institute College of Art, Regina DeLuise has worked with photography for four decades. Her work is represented in many private and public collections including the Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and The Smithsonian Museum of American History.

DeLuise has exhibited her work nationally and internationally since 1990. She was the 2018 Meredith Moody Fellow at Yaddo in Saratoga Springs, NY. Her work was included in "Migrations and Meaning(s) in Art," curated by Dr. Deborah Willis in January 2020, and she has had two solo exhibitions in New York City, 2022 and 2024 at Rick Wester Fine Art where she is currently represented. DeLuise’s first monograph, "The Hands of My Friends" was published by Saint Lucy Books in 2024.

Saskia Kahn is a photographer and educator based in Baltimore, MD. She earned her MFA in Photography, Media, and Society and is a Professor of Photography at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Brooklyn Rail, and BmoreArt, and exhibited by NYC Parks. Kahn’s practice blends portraiture and alternative processes to explore themes of memory, displacement, and the connections between people and place.

"Meet the Artist” is made possible by a generous grant from The Arnold & Augusta Newman Foundation.

Issue 18: Wellness. Just in time!!! Thank you, Baltimore. Subscribing members, yours is on the way!! 📫💌

Issue 18: Wellness considers our collective health as a city, presenting a variety of approaches to wellness that center art and artists not as decoration but as a successful engagement strategy. We examine a number of Baltimore-based initiatives that purposefully incorporate artists into spaces typically reserved for academic research–like the National Aquarium’s Voyages Series and JHU’s NeuroArts Blueprint Initiative. It features a variety of art and health professionals who blur the boundaries between these two previously separate practices including Dr. Leana Wen’s holistic approach to family and fitness and designer Jen White-Johnson’s advocacy for NeuroDivergent creativity.

Our wellness issue recognizes health practitioners who expand our notions of healing, like TRIBE, WombWorks, and Rebecca Rosenberg’s digital intervention for low vision communities. Issue 18 considers the impact of local businesses like True Chesapeake’s oyster farming project and artists like Alex Ebstein and Kei Ito, whose artwork explores personal pathways to healing.

Artists have the power to craft stories that motivate us to act in our own best interests. As a multi-platform organization, BmoreArt is committed to sharing creative pathways to success and elevating our city. We applaud all the individuals and organizations who see the connection between a thriving arts ecosystem and a healthy city and we encourage you to build upon the stories we share.

At the end of September, Mobtown closed its doors at the institution they’ve built over the last twelve years. However, that doesn’t mean Sullivan and Seguin are retiring. With plans to move to a new location, they hope to expand the ballroom beyond its current capacity.
