Perennial: Artists from Goxxip Girl Collective Explore Rebirth and Resilience

Posted on September 6, 2025 by ebrown

Sept. 15 – Nov. 7, 2025
HSHSL, Weise Gallery, First Floor

Perennial celebrates the breadth and talent of select artists from the Goxxip Girl Collective. Bringing together work that explores rebirth and resilience, Perennial converges on themes of repetition. The natural world cycles through pattern, color, seasonality, or narrative. Similar to perennial plants that return each year, artists return to their practices through repetition, adaptation, and exploration to create.

The Goxxip Girl Collective is a collaborative initiative founded by a group of artists from Maryland. Our vision is to create an inclusive space that celebrates the distinct talents of every member. We’re dedicated to crafting a platform that nurtures creativity, sparks inspiration, and promotes collective progress. Through meaningful programming, greater accessibility, and a supportive community, we strive to bring about positive change within Baltimore.

Starting Tuesday, Sept. 2, 2025, the Health Sciences and Human Services (HSHSL) poster printing prices will change for the first time since 2017.  While increases in paper, ink, canvas, employee compensation, and shipping costs made this necessary, our prices remain among the most affordable in Baltimore. More importantly, the speed and quality of service the UMB Community has come to rely on will remain exactly the same.  

New Pricing 

Material Standard Service Rush 
Glossy Paper $65 $130 
Glossy + Tube $70 $135 
Canvas $65 $130 
Canvas + Tube $70 $135 

In response to sustainability concerns, costs, and environmental impact, tubes will no longer be automatically provided and cannot be purchased separately. Instead, tubes will be available only as part of a poster package (+$5). 

Thank you for trusting us with your posters. We’re happy to continue supporting UMB presentations and research, and HSHSL faculty librarians and staff are grateful for the many kind words you’ve shared about your experience with the HSHSL poster printing service. 

You can request a poster print online at anytime as well as learn more about the poster printing service and process.   

Questions? Contact Information Services at hshsl@umaryland.edu or 410-706-7995
