Abstract

This study focuses on how the COVID pandemic brought the local, very local, environment into focus for Bridget Z. Sullivan in her art practice, and in her leadership of the Hamilton Arts Collective

Hamilton Gallery, a non-profit community art center located in NorthEast Baltimore, MD, US. Bridget showcases her new body of mixed media work focusing on the aging auto garages of Lauraville, her neighborhood, which grew out of her extensive exploration on the immediate area surrounding her home. Bridget also discusses how numerous grant applications and awards have saved HAC

HG from permanent closure, and she shares how HAC

HG adapted 2 major HAC

HG exhibitions to an online format to make the art produced during the pandemic available to a wider audience while continuing to mount in-person exhibits at Hamilton Gallery offered to the public under CDC guidelines.
