Artscape Is Coming!

In case you've been living with your head in the dirt,
ARTSCAPE- Baltimore's biggest arts festival is this weekend in Bolton Hill/Mt. Vernon. Throughout the weekend, there will be countless performances, happenings, installations and things to see, purchase, eat, participate in, wear, gawk at. Craft Mafia is proud to have helped with the new DIY section of "new wave" craft; Red Prairie Press is happy to be a part of the CCCM booth IN that section. Phil is happy to be a part of the new "Midway" section of installation and performance art on Charles Street (Jenny's "Belly of the Beast" and Kelley's "Hydra" sculptures pictured above are just 2 of a great number of things not to be missed. We also recommend Phil's "Sneak-a-Peep" and Kristen's "Thunderupagus")
