In partnership with Baltimore’s homegrown Sweaty Eyeballs Animation Festival ( ), Area 405 ( ) hosts a group show, Sweaty Eyeballs: Animation Adjacent.

Animation is an all-encompassing art form, embracing any medium and process an artist can come up with. Each frame of an animated film is an artwork in its own right, but when that artwork extends beyond the screen into the gallery, expect the unexpected. This exhibition highlights work by animators that finds its best home off the screen and outside the theater. Whether made during film production or as an adjacent practice, the artists in this exhibition expand their work through collage, sculpture, protocinema, projection mapping, augmented reality, and generative processing.

🎨 We are so pleased to share this brand-new mural “The Nest We’ve Woven" by Baltimore artist, Nether, located on the North-facing wall at 1706 N. Charles St.

Inspired by the community of Station North, the mural features several landmarks of the neighborhood — including storefronts of local businesses. The figure depicted is Vander Pearson, the owner of Pearson’s Florist, which has been located at the corner of Charles St and North Ave for the past four decades.

"I wanted to acknowledge the majestic neighborhood night herons I found staying beneath the Howard Street Bridge. Their existence fighting for space in this neighborhood amongst every competing faction of development & identity was the inspiration for this piece of art. We are nature." -

"The Nest We've Woven" is a project of the Station North Arts District, a program of , produced in collaboration with the artist, Mike Shecter, and the Charles North community. This project was made possible by a Community Art Grant from Baltimore Office of Promotion & the Arts .

Visit "The Nest We’ve Woven" in person during Artscape weekend! Visit the artist's Instagram page at to read more about the story behind it!

Art Walk Spotlight 🌟 The Club Car

Come to the opening reception for artist Doug Johnson's exhibit "Reeling in the Years", chronicling 30 years living and working in Baltimore in watercolors. Johnson has selected pieces from a wide range of styles, intentions, and storytelling over 3 decades of painting. From the gentle and sublime to the lurid and confrontational, many of these paintings have never been shown publicly before. Watercolors, normally displayed behind glass, are instead shown bare, so the powerful light and colors are raw and uninterrupted by a reflective barrier. A personal love-letter to Baltimore, there will never be an exhibit like this one again, opening reception from 5pm-9pm on Friday, July 12 at Club Car Baltimore.

Art Walk Spotlight 🌟 Station North Tool Library

Beeswax candle dipping, free drink ticket for members, and tours!
We will be hosting a Sip & Dip in the Crafts Classroom! Wine/beer/seltzer & beeswax candles! Folks will leave with their own, unique set of candles (just 1 set due to capacity. If you get hooked, join us for a future class!). Candles take approximately 30 minutes to dip and cool.
Swing by for any amount of time just to socialize, go on a tour, or browse our inventory of 3,500+ tools! Grab a friend (bonus points if they've never been to the Library before) and pop on by as you plan your evening walking around the Arts District.
