Join us as we gather at Guilford Hall Brewery for an Inviting Light Happy Hour and then head out for a tour of all five Inviting Light sites in the Station North Arts District, during the April SNAD Art Walk!
Learn more about each of the Inviting Light site installations, including a sneak peek at Harmony Park which we will unveil officially and celebrate April 17, and experience the creative lighting research and design throughout Station North that serves as a foundation for this project.
See below for more details:
We’ll gather for an Inviting light Happy Hour from 6 – 7:30 at the Guilford Hall Brewery at 1611 Guilford Avenue where they will have a special on their Inviting Light Baltimore Pilsner and more for us!
Then, at 7:30 pm (just before sunset) we’ll head out. Our route: We’ll walk north on Guilford, turn right on Lanvale, left up Barclay, then back to Lanvale after viewing Harmony Park to go right/west on Lanvale to Charles. At Charles we’ll head to North Ave, taking in two Inviting Light sites along the way, then we’ll go left on North to Maryland take in two more installations.
It will be dark close to 8pm, please dress appropriately and wear comfortable shoes. We will be walking at a leisurely pace, stopping at each site to share info, and observing light along our path.
The happy hour is open to all and the walk is free but please reserve your spot on the tour since space is limited, thank you for registering!
Background on Inviting Light:
Baltimore City was awarded a grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies to produce Inviting Light, an ambitious public art project selected for the Bloomberg Public Art Challenge which supports selected projects with a $1M grant and other in kind marketing and mentorship support. Inviting Light has energized the Station North Arts District with four and soon to be five outdoor site installations curated by Derrick Adams and events and arts programming curated by José Ruiz for the community to enjoy. Learn more about each installation here.
Inviting Light is facilitated by Central Baltimore Partnership (CBP) in partnership with the Neighborhood Design Center (NDC) and the Mayor’s Office. The project is made possible through funding and grants from Bloomberg Philanthropies, the National Endowment for the Arts, Baltimore Community Foundation, BGE, and the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development. Together, the partners aim to activate public spaces, support artists, and strengthen neighborhoods through meaningful cultural investment.
