In early June, I posted a series of images which I have hash-tagged #ThisIsBaltimore. As you know, one raison d’etre of Pigtown Design is to present the side of Baltimore generally not seen by those who do not live here. Here’s a funny piece on Yahoo by Bryn Mawr alum Annie Thomas on what NOT to say to someone from Baltimore. Click here to read.
The always amazing and fascinating American Visionary Art Museum.
The secret Buddha, a project of a student at Maryland Institute College of Art.
A flag-holder at the University of Baltimore.
Secret art installation for Artscape 2014, the largest free art festival in the USA.
The Homeland Lakes, a series of urban lakes.
The Rawlings Conservatory & Botanic Gardens in Druid Hill.
An unusual roof-line and great windows – don’t they look like an artist’s garret?
The Patterson Park Pagoda
An art installation made with old cast iron columns and stained glass.
And what would Baltimore be without some of our local blue crabs?
I’d like to continue this series once a month. It’s important to me to show people the city that I love and where my family has lived for more than 12 generations.
