The wonderful thing about living in a city like Baltimore with such a blossoming arts scene is the vast array of mediums in such a close proximity.  Every weekend is a struggle to choose which ones get a coveted slot on the iPhone calendar.  This Saturday, Sept. 15, do yourself a favor and head on over to Station North for Akimbo, an annual festival that showcases Baltimoreโ€™s professional dance companies and movement artists.  Weโ€™ll be swinging by, somewhere between the Copy Cat building and Joe Squared!

 From the website:

60+ individual performers and artists
15+ locations in Station North Arts & Entertainment District, Baltimore, MD
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

This first annual site-specific event guides audiences throughout the Station North district to view and participate in unique site-specific performances and installations.

AKIMBO features artists from traditional to experimental, plus musicians and visual artists. Thatโ€™s OVER 60 individual artists and performers presenting original work all in one day!

The journey includes businesses on North Avenue and Charles, a dance parade down East Lanvale, on a winding path through Cork Factory, and over to Area 405 and Gallery City Arts. The fun begins at 2:00 p.m.
