ARTSCAPE 2026: DREAMING BIGGER & BOLDER.

Artscape is more than a festival — it’s a force. A dynamic collision of art, culture, and community impact, transforming Baltimore into a living, breathing canvas of creativity. For over 40 years, Artscape has been a catalyst for artistic expression, economic impact, and cultural transformation. Now, as part of Mayor Scott’s Downtown Rise Initiative, Artscape is located in the heart of Downtown Baltimore, reimagining how a weekend festival can fuel long-term impact through creative placemaking and sustainable community investment.

In 2025, we redefined the festival model and Artscape became a tool for city transformation, turning underutilized spaces into vibrant hubs of artistic energy. In 2026, we are going even further to deliver immersive public art, high-impact installations, and curated experiences that elevate and celebrate Baltimore’s creative industry like never before.
