The Hackerman Artist in Residence Program

The Hackerman Artist in Residence Program aims to support the artistic and cultural endeavors of the Baltimore community by connecting established and emerging artists with Library resources and tools, creating meaningful connections with Library patrons, and contributing unique perspectives to the ever-evolving and growing city of Baltimore. The program provides all members of the community with unique opportunities to learn and engage with their fellow Baltimoreans.

Phylicia Ghee

The Hackerman 2025 Artist in Residence is local artist Phylicia Ghee.

During her residency, she will explore a deeply personal collaboration with her grandmother to create a quilt that delves into themes of lineage, memory, and ancestral connection. This quilt will incorporate self-portraits, family photographs, MRI scans, and natural fabrics, weaving together both personal and collective histories.

Throughout the year, Phylicia will engage with Library visitors through workshops, talks, and exhibitions, providing valuable insights into her creative approach.
