Free Public Drawing Workshop with Alx Velozo

Join us again this Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2025, 3-5 pm, at the CADVC gallery as UMBC drawing instructor Alx Velozo leads an interactive workshop, exploring and experimenting with observational line drawing directed by our senses.

Alx Velozo is a trans and disabled sculptor, educator, and performance artist raised in North Florida swamps, currently residing in Baltimore, Maryland. Their installations and performances combine cultural imaginations of illness, touch, the medical industrial complex, and kinesthetic learning models. They most recently received their M.F.A. in Sculpture and Extended media from Virginia Commonwealth University, and previously received a B.F.A. from Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. Velozo has exhibited, taught, and facilitated in New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Richmond, Miami, and Chilchota, MX. They have taught and consulted for the Baltimore Museum of Art, University of Maryland Baltimore County, George Washington University, Maryland Institute for the Arts, and Baltimore City of Accessible Arts.

This program is presented in connection with "Pedagogy Study Hall," a research project, exhibition, and publication by Tomashi Jackson and Nia K. Evans exploring the structures that sustain our cultural and educational systems.

This program is sponsored by the Wagner Foundation, the Maryland State Arts Council, the Baltimore County Commission on the Arts and Sciences and the Citizens of Baltimore County, and the Arts+ initiative at UMBC.
