Free Fall Baltimore + Open Studio Tour Weekend
All Month + Saturday, October 4 – Sunday, October 5
Baltimore is a city of intense cultural history. It’s also home to a thriving scene of diverse creators, performers, venues, and advocates. We celebrate National Arts and Humanities Month by illuminating Charm City’s many contributions to the humanities.
Every October, Free Fall Baltimore immerses the city in arts and culture with an entire month of free events, ranging from studio tours and concerts to dance performances and workshops.
Lights Off at 8 pm | Artist Talk: Jerrell Gibbs
Wednesday, October 1 :: 1pm
@ UMD Stamp Gallery
The Stamp Gallery is pleased to present Lights Off at 8 pm, a group exhibition featuring artists who approach memory as inherently fluid and ever-shifting, capable of evoking different emotions—love, grief, joy, anxiety, fear—at once and across time. Rather than seeking to preserve the past, these artists embrace the distortion, abstraction, and reinvention of memories, inviting the audience to consider alternative ways of remembering.
PROGRAMMING
Artist Talk: Jerrell Gibbs – Wednesday, October 1, 12 pm. Prince George’s Room in Stamp.

Remembering our Past, Reimagining our Future: Doors Open Baltimore is your opportunity to explore some of the city’s most unique spaces! Join us for the Kickoff Event, taking place on Thursday, October 2 from 5:30 p.m.- 7 p.m. at The Peale. This casual evening of storytelling allows locals to enjoy light refreshments and wine as guest speakers share their “love letters” to special buildings and places in Baltimore. This evening kicks off a month-long event of free open houses at 40+ buildings that tell the stories of Baltimore’s past, support businesses that strengthen our communities, and spark dialogue about the city’s future. Additionally, guided tours will take place throughout the month. Check the website for more details: doorsopenbaltimore.org.
