Globe Collection and Press at MICA Featured on CBS News Founded in 1929, Globe grew by leaps, bounds and bold swatches of DayGlo color into one of the nation’s largest showcard printing companies. With demand for posters dwindling in this digital age, the Cicero brothers decided to close up shop in 2010. But Baltimoreans and students aware of Globe’s legacy formed a Friends of Globe group to find a new home for its treasures. Through the collected effort of the Ciceros and MICA, Globe was able to continue operating in Baltimore. Now known as the Globe Collection and Press at MICA, the spirit of Globe is kept alive through education, archiving and creation of new work. Watch now |

Conversation with Joyce J. Scott '70 Talking with Joyce J. Scott is like encountering her art — it’s an experience that twists and sparkles with stories, ferocious honesty and humor. For decades, the 76-year-old Baltimore artist has tackled brutal topics — racism, violence, misogyny — with humor, creating forthright art that thrums with beauty. A solo exhibition of Scott’s work (“Walk a Mile in My Dreams,” at Seattle Art Museum through Jan. 19) brings together decades of the artist’s signature beaded sculptures, textiles and wearable art. With nearly 140 works from the 1970s to the present, it’s a tour de force. Read more |
