This unique and powerful exhibit features interdisciplinary works of art realized by residents of Tuerk House, a not-for-profit substance abuse treatment program in West Baltimore.

The artwork and the exhibit were conceived by, and created under the direction of Isabella Gonzalez, a student at the Maryland Institute College of Art, and a France-Merrick Fellow in MICA’s Community Arts Partnership (CAP). CAP enlists the talents and energies of MICA students to provide the Baltimore community with enriching art-based educational experiences.

Please join with the artists for a very special opening event, Saturday, April 27th at 1:00 in the Library's Central Hall.
