Sara voigt 

The daughter of a small-firm architect and fine arts professor on the west side of Cincinnati, Ohio, Sara began her artistic career cleaning apartments, field measuring for architectural firms and completing paint and labor projects from the age of 12 alongside her mom, dad and brothers.

Sara Voigt has now worked in Turkey, Germany and the U.S as a United States Air Force combat photographer, event videographer, audiovisual technician and lighting and production specialist. She is the awardee of the Georgetown Visual Artist Resident Grant and MIT Phantom Fellowship Awardee in 2022.

On a calm day you can find her sitting in the sun with her cats, cooking a sun-dried tomato and basil chicken recipe, writing poetry, and reading “anything revolutionary, communist, and pro-black.” Sara continues to paint residential and commercial buildings around the city as the owner and CEO of Baltimore Paints Houses, staying connected to her trade grown roots. She is an advocate of free community eduction, technical education to worker owned and operated pipelines and economic agency through labor and union rights.

Sara intermittently bartends to stay connected to the food service industry that was also the makeup of her childhood in Cincinnati, Ohio, where her Grandmother owned and operated a small family-owned bar, “Donna V’s”. She notes, “serving food is how you appreciate and express gratitude in your community. If I’m not connecting with those around me, I'm not living.”
