A selection of approximately 40 paintings, prints, and drawings from the BMA’s collection explores the role of water and landscape in defining the early modern Dutch Republic.

This focus exhibition of 10 works explores the relationship between burning fossil fuels—namely, coal—and the emergence of European modernism. Drawing on research conducted by climate scientists and art historians, the exhibition presents a range of paintings and works on paper by Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, James McNeill Whistler, and others to explore the ways that their artistic practices and style emerged, in part, in response to widespread pollution in London and Paris.

The Baltimore Museum of Art is open until 9 p.m.on Thursdays.

This exhibition features a monumental installation by New York-based artist and long-distance runner Malcolm Peacock, who spent his formative years in Baltimore.

Inspired by the giant, ancient redwood trees Peacock encountered while training for marathons in the Pacific Northwest, the 8-foot tall and wide tree-like form is covered with thousands of strands of hand-braided synthetic hair—the creation of which was an act of endurance in itself.

The BMA is proud to host this exhibit that celebrates the unsung heroes who quietly enrich both individual lives and the collective spirit of Baltimore. In these works, artist Mary Jo Messenger seeks to convey a heartfelt appreciation for the selflessness and inspiration of these remarkable individuals, who work so hard and do so much to strengthen their Belair-Edison and Johnston Square neighborhoods.

Art is, at its core, grounded in the extraction of nature. Artworks are made of and made through the transformation of earth, air, light, animals, and plants. This focus exhibition foregrounds the natural-ness of all artworks and tells a history of artmaking’s relationship to the natural world from historic sustainability to exploitative practice and sustainable futures.
