Excerpt:

MCB Real Estate, Midtown Baltimore, and Bloom Arts Strategy have partnered to launch the Fitzgerald Activation, which will transform the unoccupied retail space at The Fitzgerald into a creative hub and economic engine for Baltimore this fall.

From October to December 2024, local artists and cultural organizers will offer a diverse lineup of arts-based events and activities at The Fitzgerald, located at 1201 W. Mt. Royal Ave. The Fall 2024 Artistic Partners include Wordsmith and Rise with a Purpose, Ernest Shaw, Kelly L. Walker, M.A.G.I.C. Center of the Arts, Birch & Pen, Oh to Dream, The Stylette, and Good Quemistry.

The Fitzgerald Activation provides artists and makers with access to the space and resources for free. They may use the space to rehearse, perform, create, and connect with the community. Some groups are offering recurring events, and some are offering one-time-only experiences. Genres include music, dance, theater, spoken word, fashion, film, visual art, and more.
