Evergreen Spring Photography Exhibitions Opening
2022-04-29 18:00 - 20:00 | Evergreen Museum & Library, 4545 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, MD, 21210, United States
Evergreen Museum & Library invites you to an evening celebrating the opening of two photography exhibitions! Meet the artists, peruse the exhibitions, and enjoy light refreshments.
The Lifted Veil
For many years, fine art photographer Phyllis Arbesman Berger saw the world through a cloudy veil because of cataracts. During that time, she concentrated on making images in black and white. And then a miracle: cataract surgery and the world came alive in blazing color, full of intensity, as well as dreamy subtlety.
This group of photographs, ranging from infrared to color, shows how her view of the world has changed by revisiting photographs of her favorite places in Ireland; Brittany, France; and the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and reimagining them in glorious technicolor through the magic of Photoshop. The exhibition will remain on view in Evergreen’s North Wing Gallery through September 25, 2022.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Phyllis Berger BFA, MFA Maryland Institute college of Art is the Photography Coordinator for the Center for Visual Arts at the Johns Hopkins University where she has been an instructor for the past 26 years.
As a practicing fine art photographer Berger is a recipient of two artist residencies in Rochefort en Terre, Brittany, France, where she pursued her love of the landscape, and she has shared this passion with JHU students with courses in Ireland and Australia. Berger has been a lecturer for JHU Alumni Journeys in Croatia, The Galapagos Islands, Peru, Costa Rica and Panama.
Her work is in numerous private collections and has been shown at the Baltimore Museum of Art, The Museum of Rochefort en Terre, the Hopkins Review (where she was a photo editor), and in the collection of the Banneker-Douglass Museum.

Jazz: America's Secret Sonic Weapon
2022-05-12 18:00 - 20:00 | Evergreen Museum & Library, 4545 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, MD, 21210, United States
ABOUT THE EVENT

At the height of the Cold War, the U.S. government recruited jazz icons such as Dizzy Gillespie and Duke Ellington to tour the world as cultural ambassadors and burnish America’s reputation as a beacon of multi-cultural freedom and creativity. While this projection often obscured a far more complicated reality, the tours proved incredibly effective, inspiring one reporter to dub them “America’s secret sonic weapon.” At Evergreen—once the home of Ambassador John Work Garrett and his arts patron wife, Alice Warder Garrett—diplomacy and jazz have long co-existed. They will once again harmonize at this outdoor concert and talk co-sponsored by the Baltimore Jazz Alliance and featuring music by Peabody jazz sextet Kenyatta and narration by Johns Hopkins Writing Seminars professor Anna Harwell Celenza. Staged on Evergreen’s newly renovated historic terrace, this program will illustrate the power of jazz to seduce the world even as it remained a source of cultural dissonance for some Americans.
Light refreshments will be served.
