Projects
The Library Art/Video/Yoga
The Library is a 2,500 square feet mixed-use exhibition space and video production studio housed within one of the four original Enoch Pratt Library neighborhood branches that opened in 1886. The Library functions as an exhibition space with curated flat files, offer video production services with an emphasis on social awareness and community projects, as well as host weekly yoga classes. Together we seek to implement a new model for gathering and distributing news, ideas, and information that is at once thoughtful, constructive, and insightful. As Baltimore�s premier and progressively minded mixed-use exhibition space, information center, and production studio, our aim is to have a direct impact on the issues affecting our surrounding communities, society at large, and ultimately our collective consciousness.
