The Valerie J. Maynard Foundation
Mission Statement
Founded by artist Valerie J. Maynard in 2020, The Valerie J. Maynard Foundation uplifts her enduring legacy by preserving her art, advancing research, and nurturing the next generation of cultural stewards. Rooted in truth, sustained by culture, and inspired by her vision, we carry forward a commitment to justice and creativity.
"My sight has been honed by ancestors and family long before me. I take responsibility for my life and experience in the here and now by forming an aesthetic I hope speaks to the seriousness of my message and hopefully my audience sees the irony, wit, and humor along with the cutting edges of my work."
- Valerie J. MaynardART PAPERS July/August 1990, Vol. 14 issue 4
The Valerie J. Maynard Legacy Internship
The Valerie J. Maynard Legacy Internship is a partnership program between the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Valerie J. Maynard Foundation, to honor the legacy and vision of the artist who was a pioneering member of the Black Arts Movement, and a beloved icon of the Baltimore arts community (and beyond). This unique exchange provides interns with the opportunity to learn and gain experience in the museum field and in a private collection setting.
