From Baltimore, with love!
Hi, I’m Morgan!
Now, I have been to Maryland before, but never to Baltimore.
Maryland is known for crabs and their crab-related dishes.
This place was absolutely stunning!
I would stay here again a million times over.
My videos and photos of this place do not do it justice.
I devoured everything on my plate but decided to pace myself with five cocktails.
I had a great time at BLK Swan.
Thanks toBmoreArt, we got to check out five incredible institutions and exhibits.
Our stops included:
1.Waller Gallery it’s a multidisciplinary art space conceived and curated by scholar Joy Davis.
Learning about the symbolism behind the objects he uses in his pieces was so interesting.
I didn’t even know things like this existed!
How can such a communal place feel so intimate?
There’s art everywhere you turn, both inside the house and outside on the lawn.
I couldn’t help but feel inspired as we toured the area.
It serves as a hotel, cafe, communal space, and retail store.
They also host events ranging from art exhibitions to plant styling/curation.
This place was so cool.
I couldn’t get enough of the decor, and the food was great!
4.Jeffrey Kent’s Studio we had the honor of meetingJeffrey Kenthimself as he showed us around his studio.
With his learnings, he prides himself in sharing his knowledge with underprivileged youth from marginalized communities.
5.Gallery CA a contemporary art space focused on celebrating local, regional, and international artists.
The ability to transform an idea into something physical will never cease to amaze me.
It’s owned by Chef Alex Perez, who is of Dominican and African American descent.
When I tell you I cleared my plate…I CLEARED IT!
This would make a great brunch or happy hour spot.
We met up with innovatorAkio Evansfor a wearable art workshop.
But boy, were we wrong!
The comic told the story of howBaltimore saved Nike’s iconic shoe, Air Force 1.
Despite us all receiving the same comic strips, none of our sweatshirts looked the same.
Akio made the workshop fun and informative.
Creativity was at an all-time high this day, and I soaked up every second of it.
Everything was so tasty and made with love.
It examined the profound impact Elizabeth had on fiber arts, especially for Black women.
The Lincoln University Lions went head-to-head against the Fayetteville State University Broncos.
I was so excited to attend my first CIAA championship game!
The love in the room was palpable.
The vibes were immaculate at this restaurant.
The food and drinks really hit the spot!
The music selections were lovely, and the buffet spread was delicious.
Before we parted ways, we took a stroll through Fells Point and Recreation Pier.
Thank you so much, Baltimore!
You left me so full.
I didn’t get a chance to check out the nightlife, so I’ll definitely be back!
