Maryland Art Place (MAP) is pleased to present Young Blood, an annual exhibition of works by recent Baltimore-area Masters of Fine Art graduates. Celebrating its 6th year, Young Blood will continue its tradition of exhibiting a diverse range of innovative, emerging artists.

Since 2008, Young Blood has provided a dynamic exhibition experience for over 45 artists and has served as a launching pad for the career of many of its exhibiting artists. The exhibition is curated by MAP’s Program Advisory Committee, which is comprised of artists, teachers, curators and other arts professionals, providing the graduates with connections that bridge academic training and the greater art world.

Young Blood 2013 showcases a variety of new projects that include: installation and performance by Benjamin Andrew (MICA), painting by George Belcher (MICA), prints by Jordan Bernier (Towson University), sculpture and painting by Seung-Beom Cho (MICA), video by Di Fang (MICA), painting by Jascha Owens (MICA), installation by Laura Payne (MICA), and jewelry based installation and video by Katja Toporski (Towson University).

Please join us Thursday, July 11, 2013, 6pm – 8pm for the opening reception.
