Teaching Artists

Quante Thomas

Hi, my name is Quante Thomas! I was born and raised here in Baltimore. I love hip-hop dance and creating new choreography! I’m not grounded in any one form of art. I’m open to trying new dance styles and using different mediums in crafts. I’m inspired by my city, its unique dance style and culture!

Susan Tuberville

Susan Tuberville is an artist, maker, and community-based educator. She is interested in co-creating experiences with others, finding joy in the process of making or transforming objects, spaces, and connections. Much of her personal artwork draws on themes of memory and play, primarily through fibers and mixed media. Born and raised in the Memphis, TN area, Susan completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts and teaching certification at Birmingham-Southern College. Her journey as an educator began in Birmingham, then led her to teaching art internationally. She later earned her MFA in community arts at Maryland Institute College of Art, and feels lucky to set roots in Baltimore. Susan facilitates artmaking experiences and collaborative projects in a variety of media for community groups and organizations throughout Maryland. She teaches regularly at Creative Alliance and leads the Community Art Collaborative program at MICA, where she enjoys being able to support impactful arts programming across Baltimore.
