New Thanksgiving Reading from the Urbanite Arts and Culture Ezine – Movers and Shakers: Ten Baltimoreans propelling the city’s arts scene forward.

by Cara Ober

It’s that time of year where we take a moment to give thanks for all the good things in life. If you are an artist, musician, author, or actor in Baltimore, or a fan of these pursuits, chances are you’ve encountered more than a few of the individuals listed below. Each one has weighed in on the issues in a past Ask the Artist Questionnaire, a staple of every Arts and Culture E-Zine, and allowed Urbanite readers a rare opportunity to learn about them on a personal level, in their own words.

I consider myself fortunate to live in a town where such bright, accomplished, hardworking, and, also, hilarious people live and work. This week I chose ten interviews to highlight, giving Urbanite readers another chance to appreciate these cultural movers and shakers.

To read the 10 different interviews, http://www.urbanitebaltimore.com/baltimore/movers-and-shakers/Content?oid=1465587.
