October 5 - 11
Two of Baltimore’s oldest and proudest traditions – railroading and screen painting – came together at the B&O Railroad Museum October 5-11! The iconic painted rowhouse screens of Baltimore date back to 1913, when Czech grocer William Oktavec introduced his “red bungalow” scene. Since then, the practice of painting rowhouse screen doors has become a symbol of Baltimore’s rich cultural and historical heritage. Throughout the week of October 5-11, see select painted screen works by artists from the Painted Screen Society of Baltimore on-display in the Museum’s Roundhouse! And on Saturday, October 10 at 1 PM & Sunday, October 11 at 2:30 PM, visitors are invited to enjoy a screen painting demonstration by artist Michael Seipp.

4 sessions:
M/W, Dec 7, 9 & 14, 16
Screen Painting virtually* with Clare Chesnavage on December 7, 9, 14, 16 from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. Painted screens are canvases with holes. Imagine a window or door screen with a picture painted on the exterior side only. The paint does not cover or clog the holes. The colorful image stops the gaze of people on the sidewalk from seeing inside the darkened room. The view to the street from the house is unobstructed. The screen still functions perfectly for ventilation and as a barrier to flying insects. These screens originated in Baltimore neighborhoods in 1913. You will create your own painting on a screen. Supplies may be picked up at the Lifelong Learning Office.
Cost is $60 per class for Silver members; Free to Gold members; plus $15 for supplies.
To register, contact Karen Rice at krice@shepherd.edu or 304-876-5135.
