Contemporary Director Deana Haggag said it best with her facebook post, “big high five GBCA!”. Her comment came in reference to the news that the Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance, with start up funding from the Robert W. Deutsch Foudnation was opening up a new artist project grant program. These grants are going to be a great stepping stone for artists to take on significant projects in the public realm and community level and we cannot wait to see the impact they will have across Baltimore. We commend GBCA for this great new program. Artists can find more information on the program or to find out how to apply on the Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance Website.
“As Lithuanian Hall of Baltimore is approaching it’s 100th year of existence it is time for the space’s revival and a reminder to the greater Baltimore cultural community that the Lith Hall is, and can grow as, a unique gathering place and cultural venue in South West Baltimore. This is a location where talent is exposed, ideas shared and history is remembered. “
To kick start fund raising for the Lithuanian Hall restoration fund, organizers are calling any artists, performers, and small business owners to join in as part of the performers’ line-up of the night or participate in the silent auction. Any type of media, form and creativity are welcome.
Silent auction submissions are due by 11.10.13
