Together, we aim to recognize the many talented artists in our community while supporting the important work of local nonprofits.

Waymond Harrison | LIFE

On View: March 4 - May 30,2025

Reception: Thursday, March 27, 2025 | 5 PM to 7 PM

Hotel Indigo | 24 West Franklin Street | Free & Open to the Public

Maryland Art Place, in partnership with Hotel Indigo Baltimore is pleased to present LIFE,  a solo exhibition by Maryland-based artist,Waymond Harrison. The exhibition is on view at Hotel Indigo, located at 24 West Franklin St. from March 4 - May 30, 2025.  A public reception will take place Thursday, March 27 from 5 PM to 7 PM. 

About the artist: Waymond Harrison is an artist whose life is a testament to transformation through creativity. From a young age, he found himself ensnared in a cycle of legal troubles, spending much of his youth in and out of juvenile facilities and prisons. It was in Los Angeles, at the age of 30, during a lengthy incarceration, that he first encountered the redemptive power of art. Surrounded by the starkness of prison walls, he began painting, using materials from the prison print shop, and immersing himself in the works of legendary artists like Picasso, Basquiat, and Kerry James Marshall.

Art became his refuge, a means of self-expression, discipline, and personal growth. Through painting, Waymond discovered a profound sense of purpose, channeling his experiences into works that speak to resilience, introspection, and the capacity for change. His journey reflects not only the pain of the past but the beauty of reinvention—a powerful reminder of how art can illuminate the path to healing and self-discovery.

Please join us on Thursday, March 27 from 5 PM  to 7 PM at Hotel Indigo  for the opening reception celebrating the solo exhibition of Waymond Harrison. Hotel Indigo is free and open to the public. Please visit Hotel Indigo website for hours of operation.
