Creative Placemaking Workshop
On October 27, 2013, ARTblocks held a Creative Placemaking workshop to flesh out creative project ideas for an empty lot at Charles & 20th Streets.
Adopted by Man Alive Treatment Center, the overarching goal of this project is to create a safe, inclusive, green gathering and learning space for local residents—including seniors living in nearby J. Van Story Branch public housing. The space will include seating, vegetable gardens, and a food stand.
A collaboration with Man Alive and funded by a Free Fall Baltimore grant from Baltimore Promotion and the Arts, the workshop is our second in Station North.

2010: North Avenue corridor between Howard and Charles Streets
Our first Creative Placemaking workshop in the Station North area was held in 2010 to address the North Avenue corridor between Howard and Charles Streets.
A collaboration with Station North and the Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance, this effort was funded by a Free Fall Baltimore grant from Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts and held at the amazing studio/home of artist Roy Crosse.
