Merkin Dream Fashion Show III

UTC-04:00

Location

218 W Saratoga St | Baltimore, MD

Merkin Fashion Show: Thursday, October 30 | 7 PM to 10 PM | TICKETS 

We’re here and we’re queer! Volume 10: Dismantled explores queer identity and community as an exercise of celebration. The friction and chaos of uncertainty has forced dialogue surrounding the tension between dismantling versus assimilating. Bringing together artists from the Bureau of Queer Art and Maryland spans across geographical and cultural boundaries in an attempt to unify the voices of Queer identifying artists. This exhibition in partnership with the Bureau of Queer Art investigates how through intimacy and vulnerability queerness is ultimately an act of rebellion. Join us in honoring the work of international artists from the United States to Mexico as we obstinately hold space for grief and glitter. 

And for those who can’t make it to Baltimore: the exhibition expands online from September 1 to December 1 2025 on Artsy.net where the work confronts the global gaze directly. This isn’t digital as afterthought—this is a parallel altar a demand for visibility on the collector’s platform where so many queer artists remain underrepresented.

Volume 10: Dismantled will serve as the backdrop to the third biennial Merkin Dream Fashion Show in collaboration with Baltimore-based fashion designer Kenn Hall. The third iteration of Merkin Dream Fashion show will continue to expand on themes such as women’s rights sex work body image and dysphoria. The exhibition will open on September 11 2025 during the BROMO ART WALK. Merkin Dream III will be held on Thursday, October 30 2025 from 7 PM to 10 PM.
