Surviving: Roberto Dyea’s Manga Exploration of Indigenous Identity and Process is a Fitting Comeback for Waller Gallery
Waller Gallery sits nestled into a cozy residential block of North Calvert Street. The block is a checkerboard of different kinds of row houses from different eras, such as the yellow brick variety, or the more standard Old Goucher regal three story-er. The block is often made invisible by the legacy of Baltimore’s transportation policy, as the street becomes a canyon for car commuters’ daily Death Star trench run through the neighborhood. In this melee, Waller Gallery exemplifies the quiet mundane serendipity of what can be missed by an enclosed motorist.
Five Emerging Artists to Watch: MICA MFA Graduates III
The consistent abundance of high quality visual art in the Baltimore region is not an accident. One main reason that international art careers are started in Baltimore is a network of high quality MFA programs. At the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), there are thirteen major graduate programs, including Master of Arts, Master of Fine Arts, Master of Business, Master of Professional Studies, as well as programs with a graduate emphasis. All together, MICA’s grad programs attract about three hundred students each year from almost every state and more than twenty countries.

Revolutionary Love: The Art and Life of Jessy DeSantis
The phrase, “the Latino community is not a monolith,” gets thrown around with some frequency. We hear it every election cycle, as politicians realize that people who trace their ancestry to the countries of Latin America have a range of different concerns and priorities–healthcare, jobs, education–and are not only interested in immigration issues. But maybe nothing encapsulates the anti-monolith of Latino identity so much as Jessy DeSantis’ formative years in Miami. Here, a personal and political history lesson is necessary.
