Join us for an intimate "Evening with the Storyteller" from 8:30-9 pm on December 12th. This event will be held in the Creative Alliance at the Patterson's Marquee Lounge. Audience members are encouraged to ask questions at this casual, student-moderated Q&A with the artist.

About the Exhibition:

Over the past few decades Baltimore has struggled with fragmentation. Rather than seen as a unified city, Baltimore is instead viewed as a grouping of disparate neighborhoods. However, art has the power to transcend limiting imagined identities. The photographs of Robert Houston celebrate the underlying essence of humanity embodied by each and every one of us.

A curatorial project of Sandra Abbott’s UMBC Museum Studies class, "Simple Stories" explores the work of photographer, Robert Houston. Houston's photographic career documents half a century of portraits and everyday life, including his work for LIFE magazine and images of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The exhibit runs Dec. 6 – 14, 2013, with a reception on Sat. Dec. 7, 5:30 – 7:30 pm, at which the artist will deliver comments at 6 pm.
