Independence, Support, Community, Progress
Although MICA has absolutely everything you need to make anything you want to, Baltimore as a city is experiencing a profound renaissance of art, design, music, and activist culture—and they are all fundamentally linked in a way that is unique. Most organizations are founded by young artists and designers seeking to both satisfy an urge to create, but also an urge to unify and build community. Organizations are founded around needs: exhibition space, maker space, community space, and co-working space. At their core, they are all investigating new, progressive ways for artists and designers to be functional, expressive, relevant and active.
