Friday, October 5 – Baltimore, MD: Maryland Art Place (MAP) is pleased

Artist were selected through a two-tiered process. In early summer  
2012, MAP sent letters to Maryland state art leaders, gallery owners  
and educators soliciting nominations of a single artist for  
consideration by the LUX jury: Elliott Landy (freelance - NY state &  
official photographer of Woodstock 1969); Lynn Silverman (instructor -  
Maryland Institute College of Art); Joshua Yospyn (freelance -  
Washington DC); Colby Caldwell (instructor - St. Mary’s College of  
Maryland); and, Josh Sisk (freelance – Baltimore, MD).  After careful  
deliberation the jury selected 29 artists and 46 pieces for the LUX  
exhibition this fall.

The LUX exhibition will open as part of MAP’s annual fall gala on  
November 9 and will be on view until December 15. On the night of the  
gala, all of the artwork in the LUX exhibition will be available for  
purchase in a silent auction format. There will be a closing reception  
on Thursday, December 13 from 6p - 8p, which will be free and open to  
the public.

The LUX gala is hosted by Baltimore’s own Ray Lewis. Tickets for the  
Gala are available at missontix.com

LUX is a measure of the intensity of physical light, as captured in a  
photograph or digital image, and is a metaphorical reference to the  
spiritual and intellectual light that is created by contact with  
fresh, exciting works of art.
