Shine in the Dark is an opportunity to prompt a thoughtful, moving experience through your conceptions of the heritage of the neighborhood we now call Station North, and our collective role therein. Station North includes Historic Barclay, Charles North, Greenmount West, and Baltimore's first Koreatown, located on unceded land of the Piscataway People. While our city has brought forth monumental changes in industry, technology, and architecture, Baltimore maintains enduring cultural and artistic traditions. How are you a part of that legacy? In a time that has been particularly dark for artists, this installation will shine a light and safely bring people together.

Special thanks to Baltimore National Heritage Area, Maryland State Arts Council, The William G. Baker Jr. Memorial Fund, and the France-Merrick Foundation for making this exhibit possible.
