Community Calendar

Stonewall Sports Baltimore will host a spring bocce league on Saturday afternoons from April 11 – May 16. Games will be played in Patterson Park from 12:00 – 2:00 p.m. each week and the season will end with a winner takes all tournament. Registration is from March 1 – March 20 and starts at $40 for the season. The league is geared towards beginners and is an opportunity to build community and lasting friendships.

Stonewall Sports Baltimore is a nonprofit, community-based sports organization for LGBTQ+ individuals and allies. We aim to create a low-cost, high-fun community where everyone can feel comfortable being themselves in organized sports.

Big Bang Baby transforms ancestral divinity, folklore, and science into a radiant universe of light, color, and controlled chaos. At its center are fantastical feminine figures creating universes and experiencing their own divinity. Inspired by Afro-Dominican spiritual traditions of “carrying a mystery,” as well as Native Taíno Zemi goddesses, LUSMERLIN celebrates the gift of spiritual presence and creation in women. Across pastel, acrylic and LED-lit sculptural forms, the exhibition asks: What does it mean to be stardust, to be a source of divinity?

Towson University Department of Art + Design, Art History, and Art Education Faculty present examples of their recent aesthetic concerns in a broad range of media.

Rob Cook - Take a Hike: Cook’s sculptures and drawings investigate recent scientific research indicating positive correlations between spending time in nature and well-being, primarily through a sustainable practice incorporating fallen trees, invasive species, and plant waste to express his ideas. Rob's mission is to inspire attendees to interact with nature and to take a hike.

Kari Miller - To Whom It May Concern: Miller explores the beauty, joy and complexities in parenting a child with a disability while working in collaboration with her daughter who has Down syndrome. To Whom It May Concern is an ongoing conversation surrounding the impact of the history of institutionalizing individuals with an intellectual and developmental disability. This immersive installation dives deeper into educational policy, practices and experiences with audio interviews from teachers, parents and former students that have a disability.

Electra Lowe - Made From Scratch: Lowe untangles the labor and rituals of home to reveal the hidden threads of gender, labor, and consumption. Using tactile materials, symbolic foods, and altered domestic objects, the installation critiques the patriarchal structures embedded in everyday rituals—specifically, who eats, who serves, and who is seen.

“Voices that Shape Communities” is the theme of Harford County Public Library’s 5th Annual Women’s Summit on March 3 from 9 a.m. to noon at the Abingdon Library, 2510 Tollgate Road in Abingdon.

The featured speakers are Catie Griggs, president of operations for the Baltimore Orioles, and Erin Hodge-Williams, psychotherapist and founder of Time for Women. They will share their leadership journeys and provide real-world tips on how to create healthy boundaries and more. A brief Q&A session will follow both speaker presentations.

The summit will conclude with an uplifting and positive group activity that will ensure everyone leaves on a powerful and united note.

Participants will receive a copy of the featured book, “The Midnight Library,” by Matt Haig, a novel that was the winner of the Goodreads Choice Award for Fiction and a Good Morning America Book Club pick.

The sponsors of the 5th Annual Women’s Summit are Headlining Sponsor Harford Mutual Insurance Group and Supporting Sponsor The Daily Record.

Tickets cost $50 per person and include a light breakfast and box lunch plus a copy of the featured book. To purchase tickets or for more information, visit https://programs.hcplonline.org/event/15672614.
