Galerie Myrtis

This Baltimore gallery's owner doesn't shy away from art that provides social and political commentary. To the contrary, she welcomes it.

"We're going to have the pretty pieces that you can put above the sofa," said Myrtis Bedolla, the founding director. "But we want to take it beyond that, to use art as a tool to educate and inform. I believe in freedom of expression."
