Excerpt:

This year marks BmoreArt’s first-ever official participation in Artscape! We have always covered it as a media partner in the past, but the weather and its requirement that art be exhibited outside has always been a barrier for us. Being inside the SCOUT Art Fair with all of the Baltimore-based artists and co-hosting the Thursday night Vernissage Event proved to be a perfect venue for us.

There was massive foot traffic from Friday through Sunday and I am pleased to report that we had an incredible weekend! Never have I encountered so many people, wide-eyed and excited about art and artists! It was a high energy, positive love fest all weekend long. Initial reports from the first day of Artscape are claiming about 100,000 visitors just on Saturday; everyone wanted to come inside the gorgeous War Memorial Building.

I want to acknowledge that change is uncomfortable and a lot of Baltimoreans love the Artscape of the past. It can be difficult to give something new a chance. For anything gained, there are always going to be losses, but in the conversations I had all weekend long, people at the fair kept repeating the same thing over and over: This Artscape is an elevation. People were impressed.
