Baltimore's First Arts Festival
In 1952, the Retail Merchants Association of Baltimore organized the Baltimore Art Festival to be held June 2-8th. The exhibition was designed by the Merchants Association to showcase the works of area artists in attractive window displays. The artists were first required to submit their paintings, and scuplture for examination by a Jury that would choose which pieces would be best for the stores participating. The artists picked to have their work displayed would also be taking part in a competition. The flyer for the event states that "The Baltimore Art Festival, will be the biggest exhibition of Maryland Art ever attempted."

- 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.
