At first I was curious about this new event, but all I could find out was that museum professionals will descent upon Baltimore for meetings (yawn) and that local museums would be fee of charge, which isn’t a [...]

On the eve of Druid Hill Park’s 150th anniversary, a local artist decided to bring back a historical tradition: outdoor art festivals.

I can think of nothing more anticlimactic than a graduation ceremony, even at MICA where graduates tromp across the stage in various stages of (un)dress and in costume, rather than the traditional robe and mortar board.
