Dynamic Range Exhibition | Meet the Artists: Jill Fannon, Elena Volkova, and Saskia Kahn
Wednesday, August 24 • 6-9pm
@ Connect + Collect
BmoreArt is teaming up with Guilford Hall Brewery, located in the original 1898 Crown Cork & Seal factory in Station North. Join us for this event that will start at the Connect + Connect Gallery and end at Guilford Hall Brewery. From 6 – 7:30 pm, join us for a conversation with artists Jill Fannon, Elena Volkova and Saskia Kahn at the C+C Gallery. The artists are featured in our current exhibition “Dynamic Range: Eight Baltimore-Based Photographers”. At 7:30 pm, join us at Guilford Hall Brewery for a beer tasting and tour.
“Dynamic Range: Eight Baltimore-Based Photographers” is the first exhibition at the Connect+Collect gallery that explicitly includes BmoreArt’s contributors. Our goal is to present each as a skilled and multifaceted artist, distinct from their ongoing work with the publication but also revealing overlapping concerns. Besides Jill Fannon, Elena Volkova and Saskia Kahn, the exhibit includes Devin Allen, Joseph Hyde, E. Brady Robinson, Kelvin Bulluck and Justin Tsucalas.
