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.

Thank you for your support!

This is dedicated to the innocent lives lost in the senseless acts of violence that are happening in our schools and that continue to happen in neighborhoods.

What does it all mean

As many of you know right now I am in the process of working on my thesis as my studies at MICA (Maryland Institute College of Art) come to an end. As always my work involves those around me in some type of way, shape or form. So with that said, I am asking you to participate with me once again.

Thinking about the shift/change that has happened in the black community from the Civil Rights Era until now, I would appreciate your input on what it means to YOU to be black in America TODAY. I want your honest opinions and answers, but please remember to be respectful. 

Emails can be sent to missjones_81@yahoo.com and in the subject line please put: BLACK IN AMERICA

Pass along, share, and communicate with others, invite them to comment too.

I appreciate your participation….
