The University of Maryland, Baltimore’s (UMB’s) Council for the Arts & Culture (the “Council”) is pleased to announce that the inaugural edition of 1807, An Art and Literary Journal, launched in May 2019.
1807 is an anthology curated, edited, and produced by members of the UMB community, including UMB faculty, staff, and students as well as UMMC employees and our West Baltimore neighbors. This exhibit includes a subset of the art published in the inaugural issue.
Our Mission
1807 strives to encourage members of the UMB community to express themselves creatively through art and the written word. The annual journal showcases the talents of our faculty, staff, students, and the broader UMB community and neighbors in the visual arts (painting, drawing, illustration, digital art), photography, varied media (sculpture, clay, metal, glass, textiles, jewelry, wood), and the written word (short story, essay, narrative, poetry). 1807 seeks high-caliber, unpublished works that broadly and creatively relate to the Council’s themes of social justice, health, healing, the mind, and the body.
