Preach! New Works by Jeffrey Kent is a solo exhibition held at the Frederick Douglass Isaac Myers Maritime Park. Baltimore-based artist Jeffrey Kent presents a new body of work that draws parallels
between the Civil Rights Movement and the ongoing debate over marriage equality in the United States.
“This [body of] work explores the premise that Americans, who fought to achieve justice and equality, now deny it” – Kent
The Maryland Institute College of Art’s current Exhibition Development Seminar is a yearlong course featuring a group of student curators, educators and designers working with the Frederick Douglass – Isaac Myers Maritime Park.

From In-Flight Theater
Naomi’s Flight is a one woman aerial performance about aging and elder care that takes place on three asymmetrical suspended steel sculptures. Written and performed by Mara Neimanis, directed by Bryce Butler, sculptures by Tim Scofield, Naomi’s Flight reveals the love story of George, an 80 year old care giver, and his wife Naomi who has diabetes and been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Naomi’s Flight is a powerful, personal, poetic, and humorous, journey into the courageous and upside down world of day to day living with these epidemic diseases and the inverted healthcare system that is in place to do so. Neimanis combines text with aerial choreography in creating environments, characters, and time.
“The most powerful and moving piece of theater I have ever seen” - Julia Pearson, artist, owner of MacMamma
