Hosted by the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts (BOPA) and has entered its 40th season, Artscape 2024 – heralded as one of the largest free arts festival in the United States of America – was held on August 2nd-4th, 2024 in the neighborhoods of Bolton Hill, Mount Vernon, Charles Village, and the Station North Arts District (with the center of festivities in the roads surrounding the campuses of the University of Baltimore – UB – and the Maryland Institute College of Art – MICA).
Marking its comeback since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Artscape this year was unfortunately impacted with unfavorable weather conditions – scorching hot days, and heavy rainstorms in the afternoons and evenings. Nevertheless, the festival has pulled through.
The following photographs, taken August 2nd-3rd, are some of my own photos attending the festival, exhibitions, and related events in Baltimore.
