1807 Galleries

Arch Street Gallery

Arch Gallery, located on the west side of UMB’s Pearl Street Garage adjacent to Arch Street, features artwork from the third issue of 1807, published in autumn 2021. Jennifer Litchman, MA, who is editor-in-chief of 1807 and UMB’s senior vice president for external relations, shared, "UMB is an urban university ... and now we've added all this gorgeous art to the concrete ... we have one more place to go where we can see the beauty in our everyday life."
Pearl Street Gallery

Located in the Pearl Street underpass on the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) campus, this exhibit was inspired by the spring 2019 issue of 1807, which encourages students, faculty, staff, and community members to submit unpublished artwork in the categories of visual arts (painting, drawing, illustration, digital art), photography, varied media (sculpture, clay, metal, glass, textiles, jewelry, wood), and the written word (short story, essay, narrative, poetry).
