This past Friday, June 5th, as part of the Artscape Gallery Network, The Top of the World Observation Level at the World Trade Center Baltimore hosted a free opening reception for the new exhibition, “Shared Visions: Artists from the World Art Center,” co-curated by father-son duo Allyn Harris and Ed Harris. It was a beautiful afternoon in downtown Baltimore, so I decided to make the 10 minute trek from the BOPA office on East Baltimore street over to the World Trade Center after we closed up for the day. Click through to see more photos of the exhibition and read my brief interview with Ed Harris, co-curator and artist featured in this exhibition.

Photographs from Cuba and the Polar Regions by Janet Little Jeffers
On Friday May 15, WTMD presents “Thaw,” a site-specific exhibit of photos from Cuba and the polar regions taken by Janet Little Jeffers. Images of remote, surreal polar landscapes contrast with the people and details of the rich, decaying man-made Cuban environment. Both areas have been in the news recently, for different kinds of thawing – one from global warming; the other from a warming of diplomatic relations. Presented by New Belgium Brewing, the exhibit opens with a free reception 7 p.m.-10 p.m. Friday May 15 at WTMD, 1 Olympic Place in Towson, and features a performance by Baltimore rockers Western Star. The exhibit will run through June 30.
