(O)KAN is a wordplay rooted in the tonal richness of the Yorùbá language, where a shift in intonation opens up vastly different meanings. In one register, ọkan means “one”—a symbol of unity, singularity, or wholeness. In another, ó kán translates as “it broke”—evoking rupture, fragmentation, and loss. Other permutations speak to the heart, the soul, the conscience, bitterness, and the sensations of being included, touched, affected, or broken open.

Clay from the Classroom is our annual exhibition celebrating the talent and triumphs of our students and their instructors, featuring beginner through advanced ceramic art from our various classes from the past year. Functional wares like mugs and bowls to more complex forms such as teapots and jars will show off the techniques and skills of our students. Figurative and abstract sculptural art are also part of the show and reflect our course offerings.

A selection of approximately 40 paintings, prints, and drawings from the BMA’s collection explores the role of water and landscape in defining the early modern Dutch Republic.

This focus exhibition of 10 works explores the relationship between burning fossil fuels—namely, coal—and the emergence of European modernism. Drawing on research conducted by climate scientists and art historians, the exhibition presents a range of paintings and works on paper by Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, James McNeill Whistler, and others to explore the ways that their artistic practices and style emerged, in part, in response to widespread pollution in London and Paris.

The Baltimore Museum of Art is open until 9 p.m.on Thursdays.

This exhibition features a monumental installation by New York-based artist and long-distance runner Malcolm Peacock, who spent his formative years in Baltimore.

Inspired by the giant, ancient redwood trees Peacock encountered while training for marathons in the Pacific Northwest, the 8-foot tall and wide tree-like form is covered with thousands of strands of hand-braided synthetic hair—the creation of which was an act of endurance in itself.

The 2025 Baker Artist Awards exhibition at the BMA showcases the work of five artists: 2019 awardee Selin Balci, 2023 awardees Oletha DeVane and Jordan Tierney, and 2024 awardees Stephen Towns and Kelley Bell.
