New! Your Face, Your Place in History

A room in an old house that features a green, wooden chair rail and small portraits along that rail, midway up on the way.

Do you have a heart for Baltimore? Offer your face too!

Baltimore artist and participatory-history specialist Lauren Muney is hand-creating and installing custom silhouette (profile portraits) friezes of Baltimore City, Maryland, residents’ silhouettes for long-term, free public installation at the Peale. These faces will encircle several rooms of the historical Peale walls, giving visitors, residents and guests the opportunity to feel the Baltimore ‘family’ all around them.

All of the faces will be profiles, all in the same color—classic black. The portraits showcase the beauty and dignity of each individual. Each face will be equally represented and equally valued because they are seen for their essence—not their skin color nor social class, nor any weight of society’s judgements.

All #PealeFaces participants receive their own gorgeous, historical-style handmade portrait.
