    Offering award-winning coal-fired pizza that has been named “one of the nation’s top pizzas” by both Food Nation and Food Network Magazine, family-owned Joe Squared is known for creating an eclectic atmosphere that appeals to all ages by offering free music, great art, and deliciously unusual food and drink.

    Throughout April, a selection of recent pieces by Make Studio artists will be displayed at Joe Squared’s Inner Harbor location. Chef Joe is excited to show the work of these artists because, “We consider the arts in Baltimore to be vital to the strength of our community. And what a perfect way to support emerging, local artists– to pair their work with enjoying time with good food, drink and friends!”

    Joe Squared will be offering the MAKE ART PIZZA on their menu all month long, with a portion of the proceeds going to support Make Studio.

    Friday, April 26, 2013, 5-7PM  we’ll have a closing reception to celebrate the show (RSVP appreciated). Our work is on view until April 29. For more, please contact us at 443-627-3502 or info@make-studio.org.

    How about just some thoughts about my work at first? Yeah. OKay. My work is very dark and creepy. It’s not pink and cute and sweet-sy and bubbly. I know what you’re going to say! But, you’re a girl and you’re happy!? Just because somebody is happy doesn’t mean you can have a dark personality and also I’m not going to limit my work just because it’s not all cute and someone might say: “Hey! I don’t like how you pulled the head off that my little pony toy!”

    AND. Oh, also that just because that- because a kid might be looking at it I’m not going to put black bars over the creepy parts. Yeah, I won’t censor it. I might risk ruining the theme of the picture. Because my policy is: I’m here to expose my thoughts, not ruin them! Just because one or two people might say: “I don’t like that bear, because there’s a bullet hole in it.”

    I would really like to talk more about this stuff, but I have a really creepy haunted dollhouse painting to work on… before it attacks me! Just kidding. It’s not gonna attack me or you. Gotcha!

    “My Lord, there’s a letter here for you.”

    Oh, that would be my butler, Sebastian. Got to go.

    a SALUTE to you, MAKE STUDIO.

    We hosted back-to-back events in honor of Make Studio’s 3rd incredible year of programming during the first weekend of March ! Check out more photos at this link to our flickr photostream

    Our participating artists were in the mix at a very popular, busy opening on Friday 3/1 AND got to share their work amongst themselves at our studio community lunch on Saturday 3/2. Highlights were: big sales, new friends, snacks, costumes, great tunes, and a huge turn out. Thanks to everyone and more pictures and video coming soon.

    "CG Saves Her Faves" by Bradley Jacobs

    SAVE your FAVES is a blog for the artists of Make Studio to document and share their creative process. The concept for this platform comes from our community’s practice of sharing special interests, sources of inspiration, and personal preferences for discussion at the end of our work day. Faves Saved will enliven our exchange in digital form and extend participation beyond the realm of the studio.
