Articulate Baltimore

Articulate: Baltimore, co-curated by Maryland-based artists Stefan Hauswald and Jesse James, is a public art initiative aimed at activating vacant space and integrating buildings, people, and culture along North Howard where it intersects with West Franklin and West Mulberry Streets. The project has transformed the experience that pedestrians, light-rail and bicycle riders, and drivers have as they arrive in or pass through this critical gateway to the newly designated Bromo Tower Arts & Entertainment District. This striking visual improvement has occured within view of a major east-west commuter thoroughfare to Route 40, a heavily used public transportation route, and the driving path to major Westside attractions such as Everyman Theater and the France-Merrick Performing Arts Center at the Hippodrome. This public art is also situated beside the two of only three significant residential buildings in the new district north of Fayette Street and in the orbit of some the most frequented emerging arts destinations in the city—Current Space, Gallery Four, Nudashank, Floristree, Fifth Dimension, and the new Downtown Cultural Art Center.
