Persons With Disabilities and Progressive Arts Practices
Join us for the last virtual Lunch & Learn event of the summer.
Students, faculty, and staff — bring your own lunch and stay connected with the UMBC academic community. Read below for ways to join this virtual event.
Make Studio, founded in Baltimore in 2010, is one of the few art centers for persons with disabilities in the nation. Dr. Scheibler, Make Studio cofounder, will discuss her studio's take on “progressive practices” and how other types of groups can use them too, examples of the art made by its 37 participating artists, and how Make Studio and its artists are adapting to life during the Covid-19 pandemic.
