Pratt Contemporaries hosted Baltimore in our finest this Saturday, January 27th, at their annual Black & White Party. The style was undeniable at the gorgeous Enoch Pratt Central Library, with the looks, music, food, and vibe inspired by New Orleans’ French Quarter.

Attendees didn’t just go for the glam. The Pratt Contemporaries are a diverse group of cosmopolitans who seek to raise awareness of the Enoch Pratt Free Library as a vital part of Baltimore’s identity. Proceeds from the Black and White Party directly support the Pratt’s children and teen literacy programs and improvements to branch children’s departments. According to the Contemporaries, the party has raised more than $1 million since its inception.

So feast your eyes and give love to your local library.
