Before | During | Now

This exhibition is an investigation of how a global pandemic changed (or didn't) our life, world, and art. Each invited artist will include, something they made before the COVID shut down, something they made during lockdown, and something they made after/now. The observation of changing style, theme, materials, and more in the artwork will shed light on what shifted for these artists individually and make comment on what has transformed - or not - in our larger world.

History

Before there was SBM Gallery there was:

Sarah B. McCann, curator

Sarah B. McCann is a Baltimore based curator, community artist, and consultant. Her curatorial methodology poses questions to artists as themes for the exhibitions and often includes youth artists and/or a community component. These exhibitions have been nomadic since 2010 and she often partnered with nonprofit spaces to realize each exhibition. Her most recent curatorial endeavor titled, “Art & Spirituality” was conceived of and curated in partnership with the exhibiting artists and the Gormley Gallery at Notre Dame of Maryland University in 2023. In 2025 Sarah will continue to curate in a dedicated gallery space SBM Gallery. All exhibitions facilitated through the gallery will be featured on this website. Documentation of past exhibitions can be found online here.
