Baltimore City is the cultural capital of Maryland. With such renowned art institutions as The Baltimore Museum of Art and the Walters Art Museum eliminating their admissions fees year-round, there’s no excuse for missing a single work of art in either museum. From our older, venerable institutions like the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, CenterStage Theatre, and the Hippodrome to our smaller, community based arts organizations like the Creative Alliance in Highlandtown or Baltimore Clayworks in Mount Washington, Baltimore glitters with cultural gold in every corner.
In September, The Baltimore Book Festival focuses on the literary arts. In October, the arts are celebrated with the Free Fall Baltimore program that presents free cultural events and activities across the city for an entire month. During the summer, the Showcase of Nations Ethnic Festivals highlight the various diverse communities that make up our city, with 12 culturally specific festivals planned from June through October. And of course, there’s Artscape, the largest free arts festival in the nation, which offers access to every art form, visual arts, dance, theatre, classical, popular and cutting edge music, jazz vocal competitions, outdoor concerts and much more. Baltimore has a lot to offer, especially from its cultural community.
