“Out of Darkness” is an art exhibition that celebrates the powerful work of four Black female artists. Strength, beauty and resiliency are explored through Black identity and social justice. The exhibition at the Betty Mae Kramer Gallery in Silver Spring will run through Jan. 17. An opening reception, sponsored by the Arts and Humanities Council of Montgomery County, will be held from 6-8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 19.
The Betty Mae Kramer Gallery is located in the Silver Spring Civic Building, 1 Veterans Pl. in Downtown Silver Spring. Gallery hours are 9 a.m.-3 p.m. on Fridays. To attend the special opening reception, RSVP here.
The exhibition features artworks by artists Stéphane Calvin, Lauren Jackson, Sarah Matthews and Justyne Fischer. The show was curated by Justyne Fischer.
“Out of Darkness” uses bold imagery, text and collective ideas to unify this selection of work while challenging stereotypes and racial bias. Through the use of printmaking, wood-burning and mixed media, the artists tell stories of struggle, strength, adversity and triumph. These decisive and unapologetic themes are thought-provoking and encourage the viewer to think critically and collectively.
