February Online Fundraiser & Auction


The Bruun Studios online auction features a work by artist Tiffany Jones with proceeds to benefit the Eubie Blake National Jazz Institute and Cultural Center.

 For more than three decades, the Eubie Blake National Jazz Institute and Cultural Center has sought to bring creative expression and urban consciousness to Baltimore through visual and performing arts education and development opportunities for children, youth and adults in our community. 

 Bruun Studios is led by Peter Bruun, an artist, educator, curator, and community activist, Bruun Studios’ philosophical approach is grounded in the belief art is a broad idea, essential to individual and cultural identity. As such, art is not marginal, but rather core to who we are.

 The auction ends at 11:59pm, February 28, and to access the auction site please visit, Bruun Studios Online Auction

 Spread the word about this opportunity to own a beautiful piece of art, and support a deserving non-profit organization.

BMI: Black Male Identity Project

About a year ago my professor, Colette Ceasey-Cullors, told me about a project that was working on redefining the image of the black male. I knew this was an opportunity that I didn't want to miss, so for almost the past year I have had an amazing opportunity of being an active artist in what is known to be the BMI: Black Male Identity Project. This project has allowed me to see my photographs used in a way that at one point I only dreamed of....and its not over yet. This October select photographs of mine will be part of an on going series of exhibitions in the Baltimore area for Baltimore's popular fall event...... FreeFall Baltimore! 

Join me and many others this October to see a variety of works of art that addresses the ideas of black male identity, and what that means to us.
