Baltimore Center Stage invites you to the opening of our 2026/27 Indigenous Art Gallery at 6pm on Oct 16.

We’re expanding the art throughout our spaces to reflect the artists, cultures, histories, and communities that make Baltimore what it is. Get to know this year’s cohort of Indigenous artists whose work will be on display all season. Refreshments by Five Feathers Productions with a performance by Patrick Brooks.

250 Years on Stolen Land brings together local Indigenous artists and artifacts from the Baltimore American Indian Center to confront the history, language, and lasting reality of Indigenous displacement. Through art and cultural objects, the gallery invites audiences to learn from Indigenous voices, reckon with the land Baltimore occupies, and consider what it means to acknowledge a history that is still present.

The Indigenous Art Gallery at Baltimore Center Stage brings the voices and visions of Native artists into a public space where their stories can be seen, heard, and felt. It is a celebration of culture, heritage, and identity. In collaboration with local Indigenous organizations and artists working across mixed media, photography, and installation, each piece reflects resilience, expression, and cultural richness.

Partnerships include:

This gallery showcases some of the region’s finest contemporary local Native American artists, and highlights the core tenets that Native people are still here, Native people are diverse, and that Native art and practices are connected throughout time.

The gallery aims to highlight the fact that BCS’ land acknowledgment, a practice of acknowledging the traditional Indigenous stewards of the land on which the theater works at the beginning of public events and in written public materials, is more than just a symbolic gesture; it showcases the vibrant and diverse works of contemporary Native artists in the Baltimore community, highlighting their unique perspectives and creative expressions. BCS has worked with partners at the BAIC to deepen relationships with local Native artists.
