Baltimore Museum of Art

The Baltimore Museum of Art will create an exhibition and related programming that will use art to examine a complex set of issues related to home in Baltimore, including homelessness, affordable housing, and vacant properties. The project will serve as a catalyst for raising awareness and understanding of home in Baltimore; promoting dialogue and the exchange of ideas; and inspiring critical and creative response to a community issue and basic human need. The project will include a traveling exhibit that will reach at least twenty-four neighborhoods throughout Baltimore, as well as hands-on, interactive workshops through which Baltimore entities working to address homelessness, affordable housing, vacant properties, and other home-related issues, will gain knowledge, skills, and resources that enable them to integrate art-based activities into their service portfolio. The museum will assess the project through three community case studies, as well as workshop surveys, to gain an understanding of the impact on individuals, communities, agencies, and organizations working to address home issues.
