Baltimore City s most popular summer arts festival, Artscape, has been canceled for the 2021 season due to ongoing COVID-19 health concerns. The fate of the city s July 4 celebrations is still up in the air. We are disappointed to cancel Artscape again this year, but the health and safety of Baltimore citizens is our primary concern. We look forward to celebrating together as a city next summer once it is safe to do so, said Donna Drew Sawyer, CEO of the Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts.
The annual Artscape event attracts an average audience of more than 300,000 people to Midtown Baltimore and the Station North Arts & Entertainment District.

In these small ink illustrations, there was an effort to describe the built structures, while omitting any explicit spatial logic. There is a sense of how things might be rather than how they are.

The four guiding components of Islamic art are implemented, including Calligraphy, Vegetative forms, Geometric elements and Figures; adding dynamism and suggesting a function within the space. Various tiling patterns would then refer to different surfaces and hint to a possible layout of the building or interior.
