Cultivating Collaborative Creative Community

Participating Artists, Curators & Collaborators: David R. Modler, Samuel H. Peck and Desmond Beach

Maryland Art Place (MAP) is pleased to present: "ted[R]ad: Cultivating Collaborative Creative Community" a community-oriented installation-based exhibition that invites local partners and the public to participate in the realization and completion of the project.This site responsive exhibition is part of the ongoing international art making exchange project known as tet[R]ad". The primary tenet of this initiative has been to promote collaborative artmaking, community engagement and activating audience participation. Originally developed by David R. Modler and Samuel H. Peck over a decade ago, this latest rendition will also include the work of Desmond Beach. Within this installation we aspire to cultivate a creative forum with members of Baltimore’s communities through a variety of art actions and social practices. We wish to foster restorative justice dialogues and build bridges between stakeholders with visual journal exchanges, collaborative drawings and assemblages that encourage collaboration in idea exchange and cultural production. The ultimate goal is to engage with the local community to give voice and agency to participants that develop meaningful connections.

Join MAP in realizing this exhibition by visiting our gallery from January 18 - March 12 and contributing to this project. On-site art-making initiatives include: journals, art-making stations, and larger-than-life figurative drawings (courtesy of Baltimore artist Desmond Beach) which utilize public engagement to aid in their completion. Our gallery hours are Tuesday - Saturday between the hours of 12 pm and 4 pm. Drop by and make your mark! A closing reception will be held Thursday, February 24 from 6 pm to 9 pm.

Co-founder of tet[R]ad, Samuel H. Peck  will be in-residence in the Maryland Art Place gallery February 22 - February 25 2022. He is looking forward to engaging gallery visitors in the various community focused collaborative art activities related to the exhibition. Participants will be invited to make a personal contribution to one of the visual journal, add color to one of Desmond Beach’s large scale portraits and make a dialogical drawing with the artist to be added to the evolving community conversation of drawings.
