Brentwood Arts Exchange is currently showcasing FREEDOM: Selected Works From The Uhuru Quilters Guild, a group exhibition, featuring the works of artists Renee Anderson, Melba Brown, Phyllis Fagan, Cheryl Deene Hurd, Angela Lanier, Maxine Morgan, Tametha Morrow, Betty Phillips, Adrienne Randall, Sandra Schmidt, and Rose Swain. "Uhuru" means "freedom" in Swahili.

The title of the exhibit, Put It To The Fire, references centuries-old healing rituals practiced across the globe, where fire is used as a metaphorical cleanser, releasing unwanted energies, mindsets, and attachments in order to create space for new intentions to grow and thrive. The exhibit intends to address multiple aspects of the mental health journey: from pain to healing, and suffering to hope.   

This group exhibition -- 'From Dusk 'Til Dawn' -- at the Brentwood Arts Exchange features artists whose diverse disciplines center around aesthetic and conceptual themes of personal journey, from pain to promise. Participating artists include: Gayle Friedman, Emily Fussner, Tim McLoraine, and Alex Porter.

This diverse, four-person group exhibition highlights the vibrant and unique character of the contemporary art scene in Baltimore County. By displaying various visual disciplines, these artists - selected by curator, educator and fellow artist Schroeder Cherry - give a vibrant and dynamic visual definition of Baltimore's unique flavor, cementing the area's nationally renowned reputation as a groundbreaking nexus for the arts.

Jennifer R. A. Campbell's compositions call attention to the chaotic world of humanity, while conversely investigating the various elements that inform the ways we interact. She presents her characters in fictitious landscapes, amid a frenzied environment that invites the spectator into a visual feast of symbols. In the absence of words, the viewer is able to arrive at multiple interpretations as to what is occurring in the scene presented as the artist furthermore highlights the absurdity of human existence.
