For four months, youth and staff at Baltimore Youth Arts sat with the question: What will Baltimore’s Inner Harbor look like in 25 years? In 50 years? In 100 years?
Throughout this project, 31 youth, five BYA staff members, and representatives from the National Aquarium, including educators, conservationists, exhibit creators, and community liaisons, envisioned the future, found common ground, and came to consensus on a visual narrative to complete 12 collaborative artworks.
And now, after months of preparation, the artwork is on view for a multi-year installation.
This past Saturday, BYA Apprentices, their families and friends, along with BYA supporters, artists, and the greater Baltimore community came together to celebrate the brilliance of these youth, make art, and connect.
Thank you for showing up for Baltimore youth and for supporting BYA. We are deeply grateful to the National Aquarium team for this partnership.
