Painted Screens of Baltimore
a celebration of the Painted Screen Society collection
A tremendous opportunity was presented to the Maryland Center for History and Culture to partner with the Painted Screen Society and assume stewardship of their collection. Inspired, the team at MCHC sought out creative ways to celebrate and display this uniquely Baltimore art-form. Just like the tradition of screen painting, this new home will foster appreciation for this folk art form and celebrates the talent and innovation of those who developed it.
A sampling of the painted screens collection is exhibited now on the first and second floors of the lobby atrium.
