Earl’s Place Gallery started organically in Fall 2013 as a one semester project between Goucher College students and the residents of Earl’s Place. However, by the end of the semester, the students and the residents had created some powerful connections, and neither group wanted to end this new partnership.  So, in Spring 2014, we returned, working on group art and writing projects together. 

The first project was a series of self-portraits.  Since that time, we’ve created Personal Shrines, masks, collages, mosaics, drawings, paintings, puppets and short essays- working together to discover which kinds of art or writing sparks inspiration.
