Artist were selected through a two-tiered process. In early
summer 2012, MAP sent letters to Maryland state art leaders, gallery owners and
educators soliciting nominations of a single artist for consideration by the
LUX jury: Elliott Landy (freelance - NY state & official photographer of
Woodstock 1969); Lynn Silverman (instructor - Maryland Institute College of Art);
Joshua Yospyn (freelance - Washington DC); Colby Caldwell (instructor - St.
Mary’s College of Maryland); and, Josh Sisk (freelance – Baltimore, MD). After careful deliberation the jury selected
29 artists and 46 pieces for the LUX exhibition this fall.
The LUX exhibition will open as part of MAP’s annual fall
gala on November 9 and will be on view until December 15. On the night of the
gala, all of the artwork in the LUX exhibition will be available for purchase
in a silent auction format. There will be a closing reception on Thursday,
December 13 from 6p - 8p, which will be free and open to the public.
The LUX gala is hosted by Baltimore ’s own Ray Lewis. Tickets for the
Gala are available at missontix.com
LUX is a measure of the intensity of physical light, as
captured in a photograph or digital image, and is a metaphorical reference to
the spiritual and intellectual light that is created by contact with fresh,
exciting works of art.
The Fall Benefit provides crucial revenue for MAP's
year-round programming and operations. Connecting artists with communities
since 1981, MAP is a Baltimore-based nonprofit contemporary art center. MAP
