About the event

ARTSCAPE 2027: Artscape is more than a festival—it’s a force. A dynamic collision of art, culture, and community impact, transforming Baltimore into a living, breathing canvas of creativity. For over 40 years, Artscape has been a catalyst for artistic expression, economic impact, and cultural transformation. Now, as part of Mayor Scott’s Downtown Rise Initiative, Artscape is moving into the heart of Downtown Baltimore, reimagining how a weekend festival can fuel long-term impact through creative placemaking and sustainable community investment. PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:Scout Art Fair – This bold art showcase at the War Memorial Building will present 50+ emerging and established artists, immersive installations, and cutting-edge cultural programming.Sondheim Exhibition – A premier visual arts exhibition featuring the work of the semi-finalists for the prestigious Janet & Walter Sondheim Art Prize, an award that recognizes the best talent in contemporary art in the Baltimore region.In Conversation Series – A curated dialogue series featuring unexpected pairings of thought leaders, artists, and cultural visionaries engaging in provocative discussions on the future of the arts, technology, culture, and creative economies—challenging perspectives and inspiring new ideas.Beyond the Reel – A new program track spotlighting the intersection of cinema, television, and digital storytelling that includes screenings, panel discussions, and filmmaker showcases, which celebrate the impact of Baltimore’s film and television industry.The Flavor Lab – A culinary experience celebrating Baltimore’s rich food culture, featuring top chefs, food innovators, and immersive dining experiences.Kidscape – A family-friendly activation designed to engage young audiences through hands-on art experiences, performances, and interactive storytelling.Artscape After Dark – The festival comes alive at night with electrifying performances, DJ sets, and avant-garde installations, creating an after-hours experience unlike any other.Public Space Renewed - Through a blend of public art, lighting installations, green spaces, and immersive experiences, this initiative will revitalize the underpasses beneath the Jones Falls Expressway (JFX), turning them into artist-led, community-driven spaces.
