SPARK 6: Refractions - UMBC

Spark 6: Refractions features the work of UMBC and Towson faculty, recent graduates, and current students in the historic galleries of The Peale in Baltimore City, sponsored by PNC. Refraction is the change in direction of a wave as it passes from one transparent substance into another — a phenomenon most commonly observed when light waves pass through lenses, magnifying glasses, and prisms. Each of the artists in this exhibition serves as an apparatus of refraction: focusing, magnifying, or redirecting our attention and experience of our world.

In winter of 2023, artist Lee Boot (director of UMBC's Imaging Research Center) exhibited his Abstracts & Artifacts exhibition at The Peale in Baltimore. It was so compelling that he and The Peale decided to recreate the exhibition in the virtual world.

Animania: Joanna Priestley - UMBC

Join us for a retrospective screening of Joanna Priestley’s award winning short animated films with introductions and explanations of techniques by the artist. Priestley’s work maintains a high level of porosity between serious exploration of boundaries and intuitive whimsy, and she is dedicated to experimentation in technique, theme, and content.
