Get ready for Artscape on August 2-4! It’s not just any festival — it’s one of AMERICA’S LARGEST FREE outdoor arts festivals, bringing the creative vibes to Baltimore since 1982. Originally crafted to showcase Baltimore’s cultural flair, Artscape has been a driving force for community support, economic growth, and investment in the Mt. Vernon/Bolton Hill neighborhoods. The Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts (BOPA) is thrilled for the 40th Edition of Artscape this summer, featuring a vibrant lineup of artists, live concerts, visual arts experiences, performances, fashion showcases, family-friendly activities, films, experimental tunes, improv, comedy, literary delights, and tasty treats. BOPA urges artists and festival-goers alike to dive into Artscape’s magic — it’s totally accessible and 100% FREE! So come one, come all to Artscape and let’s celebrate the arts in Baltimore together!”
