Maryland Hall’s ArtReach program welcomes the Hood2Good Movement as an official part of Maryland Hall’s outreach programming.

This week we are launching a new program at Maryland Hall called Under Construction Arts, a week-long residency that will become an annual and ongoing project to celebrate the artistic process. In this inaugural developmental residency, we will work with Philadelphia based company Fidget, a platform for the experimental, collaborative work of Megan Bridge (choreographer) and Peter Price (composer/video art). Fidget is a think tank for research and discussion, offering historical, political, and philosophical access points for a deeper understanding of the art. Maryland Hall will share their development process on a new artistic piece, The Alt.terre, with our community and provide opportunities for you to connect with the creative process.

Laura Brino is the Outreach Coordinator at Maryland Hall. She is the lead teaching artist for the Jovenes Artistas (Young Artists) program, an outreach program that has been at Maryland Hall since 2013. The program was developed as a comprehensive arts program for at risk youth. It provides a safe environment for self-expression, confidence building and motivation to stay in school.

For more than 15 years, visitors to Maryland Hall have been inspired and motivated by their experiences with our labyrinth. The labyrinth is the centerpiece of Maryland Hall’s Founder’s Green (front lawn) which also includes a painter’s circle, benches, walkways and a sundial. The labyrinth and surrounding green spaces were funded by Nature Sacred whose mission is to “support the creation of public green spaces that offer a temporary place of sanctuary, encourage reflection, provide solace, and engender peace and well-being.”
