BmoreArt’s Picks: November 4-10

On Saturday, November 1, BmoreArt hosted 400+ guests at the Icons Ball & Benefit at the Lord Baltimore Hotel. This event was a major milestone, ten years of our semiannual print journal! The theme for Issue 20 is “Icons” — to commemorate this historic moment in our existence as an art publication and to recognize the iconic artists, makers, doers, and dreamers who make Baltimore a culturally vibrant place to live and work.

BmoreArt’s Icons Issue feature many of Baltimore’s highest achieving visual artists, filmmakers, fashion designers, culinary artists, organizations, and creative professionals including Broadway star André De Shields, 14th Librarian of Congress Dr. Carla Hayden, and John Waters — celebrating the shared success of Baltimore as a city of artists.

As we continue to build a collaborative platform for creative and critical discussions and identifying and promoting talent, we appreciate your support in commemorating this milestone! Please mark your calendar and thank you for joining us as a champion of Baltimore as a city of artists.
