Project 837 is designed to provoke a conversation about definitions of home and homelessness. “Home” conjures up diverse emotions, feelings, and concepts, which are rooted in a person’s identity. More specifically, Project 837 seeks to challenge definitions of homelessness while also raising awareness about some of the realities of Baltimore’s homeless population. The number 837 refers to the square footage that would be available to individuals in Baltimore if all of the vacant housing were transformed into housing for the homeless.

In addition to a selection of the family’s Baltimore-related artwork, this focus exhibition explores the origins and continued development of the landmark museum and portrait gallery opened in Baltimore by Rembrandt Peale in 1814, and which now is poised to reopen after restoration as the Peale Center for Baltimore History and Architecture.
The ancient metalworking technique of repoussé, the art of raising ornament in relief from the reverse side, has a rich history.

2015 AIABaltimore Spring Lecture Series: Outliers
This series highlights designers who are answering provocative cultural and socio-political questions, typically explored through the realm of art. Their responses take on many forms and challenge established practice, prompting further dialogue around the impact of design. Through these deviations, we are introduced to alternate avenues of operation and thought, causing us to reflect on the potential they present.
