The exhibit features 18 artists with different ideas about women and their power
In modern society, women are considered beautiful, powerful, and successful. For Diana Marta, curator of the Femme Fatale exhibit at the Gallery at CCBC Catonsville, this concept plays a large role in the portrayal of women in art. “Although artists and art historians of past history may not have widely recognized it, we now know that there is no one simple definition for ‘woman.' The artists whose work is in this exhibit have searched their own personal lives and mysteries to share their visions on the Femme Fatale,” Marta said. The exhibit is not just about how females have been portrayed in the past. It’s also about how females are portrayed today in all types of media and art. “In response to traditional gender expectations, I see …

CCBC's Kaleidoscope exhibit serves as a teaching tool and a place for viewers to see things through another perspective.
After discovering her love for fine arts, Marcia Bass, a student at CCBC, decided she wanted to be a curator. Now, Marcia has had the pleasure of designing and running her own exhibit at CCBC's Q Gallery. The exhibit is called "Kaleidoscope." "I always like looking through perspectives that aren't my own," said Bass. The art inside of the deep purple gallery stood out on the walls. With bright reds and oranges, the abstract art selected by Bass is highly interpretive. The exhibit allowed the viewer to contemplate the art and identify the image with something recognizable. "I may not understand the artist's intentions but I like to interpret the piece in my own way," said Bass. The exhibit ran from October 15 - November 13 as part of an …

The museum, at 300 Oella Avenue, is home to 142 acres of African-American history and is a contemporary museum as well as a community park.
