1982 "Artscape was great, but how about a broader base?"
Unfortuantely, in 1982 at the time of Artscape, Baltimore's relationship with the artist community it was seemingly trying to cultivate was strained. Artscape, despite some rain, was a success to most Baltimoreans that attended the event. But, there was a dark side. Mike Rowland, a writer for The Forum, and native Baltimorean living in the Mount Royal neighborhood discovered a few artists protesting the event. These artitst protesting the event said that local artitsts were "arm-twisted," into participation, and that grass-roots artistic expression was exculded; in this example caricatures.

- Hello! I am starting this blog to track both mine, my boyfriends, and my dogs training progress. Pippin is a 6 year old terrier mix that recently bit my boyfriend, and since the bite has displayed what we to believe as dominance aggression towards him. Up until this point he was loosely trained and treated like he was a fellow human/ member of the family. He IS a member of the family but he needs to learn his spot in our pack and I need to ensure that he is not a threat to anyone. The day after the bite was filled with a multitude of questions from training methods to thoughts about humane euthanasia. I was thankful for some online sources (that I will link and reference throughout our journey) and believe that this might serve to help others as well as help my boyfriend and I document this experience.
