Art, Artists, and the City

You are an artist in a city. According to conventional wisdom, your art will benefit from the sort of density, diversity, and synergy found only in a big old city like Baltimore, while Baltimore’s reputation as a city will benefit from the “cultural capital” you create by living and working here. In this class (and blog), we will examine the relationship between art, artists, and cities, with a focus on recent efforts by cities to use the arts and culture as a tool for revitalization.

D:Center meeting, cool upcoming lecture and related topics

About to go to the D:center meeting and found this wonderful upcoming lecture next week after our class. Maybe this was announced but I thought I'd post it here:

Here is a cool post by Emily Pilloton did on D:center's blog about changing Baltimore by developing it one (artist) person at a time, by becoming the developer - a bit like what the former director of the BOPA and Dan was saying two weeks back. http://blog.dcenterbaltimore.com/2010/02/23/meet-baltimore-newest-developer/
