WITH THE ARRIVAL of the coronavirus, the Baltimore Museum of Art closed its doors to the public in mid-March, like most venues across Maryland, leaving the local arts institution at a loss for what would come next.

“We took a moment to evaluate what value we could add to the arts ecology in Baltimore in this moment of crisis,” says BMA chief education officer Gamynne Guillotte, center. “Our first thoughts were getting artists, small arts organizations, and galleries paid, and to amplify the work already being done.”
