The purpose of all Art-Away trips is to give students the opportunity to immerse themselves in the art world of another area, while having time and space to create their own art work in response to all they see. The trip to Baltimore-Washington is made extra special in that we stay in the home of a local artist who shares her extensive knowledge of the local art world.
Highlights of the Washington-Baltimore trip will include:
-
3 days in Baltimore and 2 days in Washington, staying at artist, Catherine Behrent’s, home which will serve as our home base and studio.
-
In Baltimore: a private tour of Maryland Institute, College of Art , a visit to local artist’s studio, a private tour at the American Visionary Art Museum and a visit to the exhibit, The Culture: Hip Hop and Contemporary Art in the 21st Century, at the Baltimore Museum of Art
- In Washington: visit select exhibits at The National Gallery of Art, The Hirshhorn Museum, The National Portrait Gallery and The Phillips Collection
-
Evenings making art, watching movies, playing games and eating healthy, home cooked meals at Catherine’s home
