"Art should not exist in an ivory tower..."

The Baltimore Art Festival of 1952 may have fizzled, but the Baltimore leaders still wanted Baltimore to be "on the map," both artistically and culturally.

Although 1975, was the eighth year of the Baltimore City Arts festival, 1975 broght new hope. The Mayor's Advisory Committee on Art and Culture sponsored a newer festival, that would be marketed by the MACAC. This festival was to be held in the Charles Center and Hopkins Plaza, June 26-29th. The old Bromo-Seltzer Tower was turned into an Arts Center bu the MACAC, and utilized in the campaign for the new arts festival. The Hopkins Plaza was also used to showcase art work, music, dance, and drama during the festival.

About Me

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.
