We were so pleased to have had rising Baltimore City Senior Robin/Elliot O’Maonaigh with us this summer via the Bloomberg Arts Internship program! Last night they gave their culminating presentation (which these slides are excerpted from), documenting their intern’s view on the studio acquired through close observation of our artists’ practices done in tandem with building their own portfolio and supporting our studio milieu. You can learn more about what they saw and learned this summer in this blog post they prepared.
Make Studio was excited and humbled to receive a generous grant from Civitan Club of Baltimore, allowing us to undertake our “Make Studio Road Warriors” series.

Gemma told us how important it was to her that an art studio allows people to express how they feel and develop self-acceptance. She enjoys exploring how she can expand on her initial ideas for artwork, working in all sorts of media, while working in a studio setting with other artists. “Feeling welcome even if you’re different – it’s helped me a lot.”
