Join ArtTable for a curator-led tour of Amy Sherald: American Sublime at the Baltimore Museum of Art! 

The exhibition tells the story of Sherald’s vision and practice through approximately 40 paintings created from 2007 to the present—from her early, rarely seen works to her iconic, larger-than-life portraits of Black Americans in everyday moments.

American Sublime in Baltimore is more than an exhibition—it’s an occasion of civic pride and cultural affirmation. Sherald graduated from the Maryland Institute College of Art, studying under the famed painter Grace Hartigan, and worked in Baltimore during her formative years.

Asma Naeem (she/her) was appointed the Dorothy Wagner Wallis Director at the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) in January 2023. She is the eleventh director of the 110-year-old museum and also the first person of color and the first person raised in Baltimore to lead the organization.

Naeem is widely recognized for her advocacy of women and underrecognized artists, for her scholarship in contemporary and American art, and for her vision and work in collections diversification. She had previously served as the BMA’s Interim Co-Director since June 2022, and as the Museum’s Eddie C. and C. Sylvia Brown Chief Curator since 2018, organizing exhibitions on the work of such artists as Candice BreitzIsaac JulienSalman Toor, and Valerie Maynard. Her most recent exhibition, The Culture: Hip Hop and Contemporary Art in the 21st Century, still on tour, explored the political, cultural, and aesthetic attributes that have made hip hop a global phenomenon and established it as the artistic canon of our time.

Washington, DC | Curator-Led Tour of “Anonymous Was a Woman: Jae Ko | linn meyers | Joyce J. Scott | Renée Stout” with Dr. Vesela Sretenović

Join ArtTable for a curator-led tour of Anonymous Was A Woman: Jae Ko | linn meyers | Joyce J. Scott | Renée Stout at The Kreeger Museum, led by exhibition curators Dr. Vesela Sretenović.

Anonymous Was a Woman: Jae Ko | linn meyers | Joyce J. Scott | Renée Stout, dovetails with the recent group exhibition, Anonymous Was a Woman: The First 25 Years organized by and presented at the New York University’s Grey Art Museum, April 1-July 19, 2025, and co-curated by Nancy Princenthal and Vesela Sretenović.

The Grey exhibition celebrated the first quarter-century of the Anonymous Was a Woman (AWAW) grant program, established in 1996 by visionary philanthropist and artist Susan Unterberg. The program is dedicated to supporting mid-career women artists living and working in the United States. Its name refers to a phrase in Virginia Woolf’s essay A Room of One’s Own, which underscores the challenges that creative women have historically faced in a male-dominated society. 

The Kreeger Museum’s exhibition, curated by Sretenović, focuses exclusively on four AWAW recipients who reside and work in the Washington, DC metropolitan area: Jae Ko (AWAW 2012), linn meyers (AWAW 2023), Joyce J. Scott (AWAW 1997), and Renée Stout (AWAW 1999). While the Grey exhibition featured works created around the time of each artist’s award, The Kreeger Museum’s presentation spotlights the most recent work of its participating artists, picking up where the Grey show left off in 2020. Moreover, whereas the Grey offered a broader overview of artistic production by women-artists in the first 25 years of the award, The Kreeger Museum aims to present a more focused, in-depth look at the new works of Ko, meyers, Scott, and Stout.

In this respect, The Kreeger Museum’s exhibition not only celebrates artists based in the DMV area —aligning with the Museum’s mission—but also extends the reach of the AWAW program beyond New York City, further disseminating its mission: to support and bring greater visibility to the creative output of women artists.

  • ArtTable Members – $20

Miami, FL | Curator-Led Tour of “Women Pulling At The Threads of Social Discourse: Don’t Be Absurd” with Melanie Prapopoulos

October 18, 2025 | 12:00 pm 1:45 pm

Women Pulling At The Threads of Social Discourse: Don't Be Absurd

Join ArtTable at the CAMP Gallery for a guided tour of Women Pulling At The Threads of Social Discourse: Don’t Be Absurd followed by a networking reception!

The exhibition will explore absurdism, referencing Franz Kafka, Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvoir, Jose Saramago and/or Samuel Beckett. Artists will apply the ideas and concepts in these works to our modern world, through which industry and politics, is still and often dehumanized. Sub-topics include but are not limited to childhood in industrial societies, sexuality, gender, women’s rights, and education. We asked artists to create circular fiber works to symbolize the continuation of hope in our present experience as we strive to overcome a certain sense of nothingness.

Los Angeles, CA | Curator-Led Tour of “Made in L.A. 2025” with Essence Harden

October 21, 2025 | 12:00 pm 1:00 pm

Made in LA 2025

Gather at the Hammer Museum for a Curator-Led Tour of Made in LA 2025 with Essence Harden!

Made in L.A. 2025 is the seventh iteration of the Hammer’s signature biennial exhibition that showcases artists practicing throughout the greater Los Angeles area. The 28 participants in the exhibition present work not only made in the city but also grounded in its complex and unfolding terrain. Neither myth nor monolith, Los Angeles is many things to many people, and its dissonance is perhaps its most distinguishing feature. The works presented in this year’s biennial include film, painting, theater, choreography, photography, sculpture, sound, and video. Attitude draws them together: Each engages with this city in ways alternately literal, formal, material, and metaphoric. Conceived or made in Los Angeles, they are of this city and nowhere else.

East Hampton, NY | ArtTable Day Trip to the Hamptons: Onna House, Collection Visit, & Guild Hall

August 15, 2025 | 11:00 am 4:00 pm

Exterior view of Onna House

Celebrate summer at ArtTable’s 2025 day trip to the Hamptons! Attendees will visit three locations in East Hampton: Onna House, long-time ArtTable member and art collector Susan Jacobson’s Home, and Mary Heilmann: Water Way at Guild Hall.

Please note that this program does not include transportation. Each attendee is responsible for their own transportation.

Housed in a Japanese modernist 1960s residence in the center of East Hampton, Onna House is a sanctuary filled with art, furniture, and objects by women artists and designers exclusively. With a dual mission to support and create visibility for these artists and provide a gallery space to display their work, founder Lisa Perry combines her passions under one roof to carefully curate the private home and studio. Onna House acts as a space for women artists to engage and collaborate and for collectors to discover new work.

Lunch will be provided at the home of long-time ArtTable member and art collector Susan Jacobson! Highlights of Susan’s collection include work by Nick Cave, Cindy Sherman, Josephine Meckseper, Solange Pessoa, Elmgreen & Dragset, Joel Perlman, Tom Sachs, Daniel Arsham, Toni Ross, and Vik Muniz.

At Guild Hall, Museum Director and Curator of Visual Arts Melanie Crader will lead attendees on a tour of Mary Heilmann: Water Way. This exhibition is the artist’s first large-scale solo presentation with an institution on the East End of Long Island, where she has been an integral part of the region’s creative community for decades. From California to New York City to Bridgehampton, Heilmann has prioritized living in close proximity to water, which has had a profound influence on her life and work. Whether as a direct image or referential title, water has long been a recurring theme throughout her practice.  Guild Hall is pleased to realize an exhibition that Heilmann has had a strong desire to stage—one that brings together over 40 works of a focused area of her output. The exhibition includes works on paper, ceramics, and paintings spanning from the 1980s through the present.
