Artscape 2017
Artscape, America’s largest free arts festival, returns to Baltimore for its 36th year on Friday, July 21 through Sunday, July 23, 2017. This year’s theme is “Camp Artscape: Adventure Awaits” and encourages artists and festival-goers to step out of their comfort zone and experience something new at a summer staple in Baltimore: Artscape. “Camp Artscape” features live music from local and national acts on three outdoor stages, a full schedule of performing arts including dance, street theater, jazz and opera, an artists’ market with fine arts and crafts, film and children’s activities, in addition to an assortment of local Maryland food and beverages. Artscape also features four large-scale outdoor art installations based on the theme of “camp” and the “Charles Street Trail,” consisting of approximately a half dozen installations and/or sculptures along Charles Street.
Artscape is open Friday, July 21 and Saturday, July 22 from 11am to 9pm and Sunday, July 23 from 11am to 8pm on Mount Royal Avenue and North Charles Street.
