The artists of the Baltimore-based Painted Screen Society created a group of paintiings for the ''Art From the Yard'' exhibit at the Institute of Contemporary Art. The society is dedicated to documenting and preserving the city's tradition of painting mesh screens, which dates back to the early 1900s. (Emma Lee/WHYY)
