Maryland Art Place plans critics discussion

Maryland Art Place will feature a 2 p.m. forum discussion May 20 hosted by area artist Cornel Rubino as part of the 20th Annual Critics? Residency Program. The forum will be followed by a 3 p.m. reception.

Lilly Wei, the Critic in Residence and curator of the exhibition, MAPPING the Alternative, will be joined by the participating artists and writers, who will discuss the residency and issues about contemporary art with the audience. “We?ll talk about the exhibition itself, contemporary art and issues surrounding it, what?s lacking, what we?re doing well,” MAP?s executive director Julie Ann Cavnor said.
