A new direction for this blog...

Well. I have been reading, and re-reading the articles that are available in the vertical files in the Enoch Pratt Maryland Room and trying to think of a way to present my blog and findings. I feel like though Baltimore Artscape is successful as an arts festival for the city but failed in making Baltimore a place for the arts year round, or establishing a solid art community. Artscape does a wonderful job getting vendors into the city but less than 25% of the vendors by the looks of the programs (that I will post later this week) are from Baltimore. And of the few that are, many are students who move outside of Baltimore to Boston, New York, or out West after graduation from MICA. In my own experience attending Baltimore's Artscape the vendors I spoke with, or seemed more attracted to the tents of where all from out of state. I shall research this more and keep a better job on updates.

In other news... I have tried contacting a few people from the sponsorship committee and haven't had any luck. :(

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.
