Community Calendar

The Town of Colmar Manor, in collaboration with local organizations “Operation ARTS Foundation” and “We Are Limitless Studios” are leading their Streets of Solidarity Mural & Neighborhood Revitalization Project. Brandon Bell, Chyna Mae and Renee Ackerson designed a unifying message for Colmar Manor and are teaching 10 upcoming artists how to paint murals through their guidance. These 10 local artists will receive a stipend for their participation, in addition to gaining invaluable experience, mentorship and merchandise. The word “solidarity” refers to people coming together to stand in support of one another and in this project we are working together to unify the neighborhood through art. This community-driven project was funded by a grant award from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development of $81,500. This 5,000 sq. ft. roadway mural will engage local residents in painting a vibrant message of cultural unity and anti-gun violence at the 4 road intersections of 38th Ave, 37th Ave, Newmark St, and Newton St, that is also adjacent to Colmar Manor’s historic Dueling Grounds site. Local residents and commuters please note important dates and traffic pattern changes from 9/2 - 9/25 and plan your travel accordingly to avoid transportation delays. If you are interested in learning how to paint murals and would like to volunteer with us from 7am - 8pm, Monday through Friday, please RSVP to the event page on Facebook. Join us in transforming a historic site into a symbol of peace and resilience!

For thousands of years, East Asia’s cultures have viewed human life as part of a much larger system that encompasses the natural world. Drawn from the BMA’s collection, this exhibition boasts more than 40 objects—from magnificent ink drawings to beautifully crafted stoneware and poignant contemporary photographs and prints. They bring into the galleries the mountains and seas, wild and supernatural animals, and plant life that are extensive across East Asian imagery and often carry symbolic meaning.

Works on view include robust 13th-century ceramic vessels, delicate porcelain, carved jade, intricately sewn textiles, and large-scale photography; collectively, these artworks represent the impulse to fully understand the natural world as foundational to our existence, as shaped by human life, and as an enduring metaphor of survival.

senior citizen activists from Third Act Maryland, along with Civic Works and the Chesapeake Climate Action Network, are inviting their fellow citizens to “Sun Day,” celebrating solar energy as the cheapest and fastest way to generate electricity.

The event, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 21, happens at Civic Works headquarters,
3501 Brehms Ln., in Baltimore. Admission is free.

Participants will learn how they can take advantage of solar energy even if they are renters or have a shaded roof. There will be solar power demos, solar job training information, kids activities, art projects and food trucks. And there will be live music by Tavair Dominique, Buzz Merrick, and Dan and Claudia Zanes.

“Solar power isn’t just a clean energy issue, it’s a housing affordability issue, because rooftop and community solar lower utility bills. That means residents have more money to cover their rent or mortgage,” said Rob Wald of Third Act Maryland.

Sun Day is a national day of action celebrating solar and wind power, with events and activities across the country. Learn more about Sun Day and the movement to spread solar energy far and wide at https://sunday.earth.

Participants can take advantage of free parking and a shuttle to the event from Clifton Mansion, 2701 St. Lo Dr., Baltimore.

Sun Day events will also take place in Frederick and Takoma Park, Maryland; Vienna, Virginia; and Washington, D.C.
