How artists chose to interpret place may be political and speak of a sense of identity and nationality, may be personal and resonate with a sense of home, or may be associated with memory and imagination. Accessible entrace located on the Charles St side of the building near the BJC mural. Please ring the doorbell.

Derrick 'DJ' Smith is a Baltimore-raised visual artist creating and forging contemporary art from
the scenarios of his past with discarded materials from our collective present. Without taking the aesthetic approach. His artwork possesses clear narrative while inviting his audience to create their own story. His paintings, photography and videos are usually between two worlds allegorical- reflecting social and political issues in one image. Or admirable of the plain beauty of human beings magnified by their imperfections.
