Keystone Korner Baltimore

The Furious Bongos are a Frank Zappa tribute band and incredibly maintain this level of excellence, a nine-piece combo of remarkable ability. The Furious Bongos are a dynamic and precise ensemble playing with an outstanding bravura, multi-faceted vocal delivery upfront. Band members from The Furious Bongos have played with artists including BB King, Mick Fleetwood, Vinnie Colaiuta, Googoosh, Dweezil Zappa, LA Philharmonic, Arthur Barrow, Munich Philharmonic, Bryan Beller, Popa Chubby, Yo Yo Ma, Limelight: A Tribute To Rush, Pinetop Perkins, Chicago Lyric Opera, Madison Opera &amp; more. The group describes this venture as “not a strictly tribute project,” but more of a unique band you won’t find anywhere else. The result of their approach is a show that pays respect to Zappa’s legacy, but is also new, different, dangerous and fun, with lots of eyebrows. Kinda like Frank.&nbsp;

Maryland Art Place Inc

Two Days is an exhibition conceived around two cities, Baltimore and New York. In 1901, the Baltimore Orioles were sold to New York and became the New York Highlanders. In 1913 they were renamed the Yankees. The two cities are linked together through America’s favorite pastime. Two Days celebrates the East Coast and the ever-evolving relationship between Baltimore and New York.
The artists included have substantial relationships with both Baltimore and New York. The relationships include place of residence (past or present), family, education, teaching and exhibiting. The artists were selected on the uniqueness of their work and their respect for materiality and visual language. All share an interest in poetics driven by physical adventure and structural understanding. There may be similarities in some of the works but the show was not conceived with a particular aesthetic or common idea. The intention is to introduce artists with individual vision currently working in two nearby cities. Rather than being on two separate teams (Orioles and Yankees), the artists are on one team, bound by purpose and place.
The exhibition is curated by the artists Jim Condron and Glenn Goldberg. Jim lives and works in Baltimore and New York and Glenn is a lifelong New Yorker. Both have exhibited and taught in the Baltimore and New York areas. Exhibiting Artists: Eric Banks, Catherine Behrent, Bettina Blohm, Ben Browne, Guy Corriero, Brad Ewing, Jonathan Genkin, Michelle La Perriere, Sangram Majumdar, Isabelle F McTwigan,Nicholas Moenich, Cara Ober, Cordy Ryman, Jo Smail, Christine Stiver, Dominic Terlizzi, Ken Tisa, Rosa Valado, and Tommy White. Please join us for the opening reception of TWO DAYS on Thursday, May 14, 2026 from 5 to 9 pm in conjunction with BROMO Art Walk. Additional programming will be announced.

Located at:&nbsp; 218 West Saratoga St | Baltimore, MD 21201 | 3rd Floor&nbsp;

Curated by: L.A. Crawford + Caitlin Gill&nbsp;

Iconoclasms explores the rejection or dismantling of cherished beliefs and institutions established to indoctrinate people. This exhibition celebrates the deconstruction and recontextualization of artifacts from religious or institutional modalities. Promoting heretical objects, Iconoclasms challenges notions of ritual, worship, and invocation.&nbsp;

Historically, Iconoclasms, the destruction and defacement of religious or political objects, was driven by the belief that images can become idols or represent oppressive power. Idols were used as a tool of worship, pushing the individual further from the church. This concept that idols, objects imbued with religious omnipotence, could divide the individual from the collective consciousness of the church threatened theological purity.&nbsp;

The intersectionality between idol and artwork, creation as an act of worship, and artists as devoted worshipers (obsecrating at the altars of their own creativity) poses the question: is creation by nature heresy? The work exhibited in Iconoclasms explores devotion to the craft, mock vandalism, and religious idealization.&nbsp;

Join us on Thursday, May 14, between the hours of 5 pm and 9 pm to worship at the altar of XoXo gallery in excavation of the truth - real or perceived.&nbsp;

Curator’s Bio:&nbsp;

L.A. Crawford is a multidisciplinary artist based in Washington, D.C. who employs painting, printmaking, and sculpture in their work. Crawford’s practice reflects an engagement with materiality and form, drawing on their surroundings to challenge and reinterpret our understanding of space and the ways we construct meaning from it. Crawford received their B.F.A. in painting from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and their M.F.A. from the Maryland Institute College of Art, Mount Royal School of Art. They were awarded the 77Art fellowship and have participated in the Art Institute of Chicago’s summer residency program in Siena, Italy. Their work has been published in the Museum of Americana catalog, and they have created installations for the Museum of Outdoor Arts in Denver, Colorado. They are currently an artist-in-residence at the Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington.&nbsp;
Caitlin Gill received her BFA in Painting and Drawing from Towson University in 2010 and her MFA in Curatorial Practice and Art Criticism from the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD) in 2013. After graduating from OCAD she was employed by Renaissance Fine Arts as an Arts Administration Assistant and eventually as Assistant Director and Event Manager. After nearly four years at Renaissance Fine Arts, Caitlin was awarded a position at the Delaplaine Arts Center as Community Outreach Coordinator where she increased outreach initiatives by 200% and partnered with organizations such as COIP (Children of Incarcerated Parents), Housing Authority, ARCH and the Frederick Center. She is presently employed by Maryland Art Place (MAP) as the Exhibitions Director and MSAC Arts Directory Coordinator overseeing the MSAC Arts Directory and all MAP’s programming needs to include overseeing their partnerships and satellite spaces with Hotel Indigo, Zeke’s Coffee, Quinn Evans, and 410 Lofts. Gill is an emerging curator and mixed-media artist who exhibits regionally and the Founder and CEO of the Goxxip Girl Collective, an all female-identifying art collective based in Baltimore and XoXo Gallery. Additionally, she is adjunct faculty and Gallery Director for&nbsp; Shepherd University. She also&nbsp; teaches at James Madison University (Art Appreciation); Prince Georges Community College, and Howard Community College (Drawing and Art History). Caitlin recently returned to Graduate School to pursue a second MFA in sculpture.
