SUMMARY:2023 Charles Street Promenade
DESCRIPTION:The Charles Street Promenade (CSP) is not a festival\, it’s a pedestrian takeover of the Historic Charles Street thoroughfare.\nInitially created during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic to safely bring awareness and encourage support of the many incredible small business along Charles Street\, CSP has since evolved to include additional street-front activations\, musical performances\, and so much more. \nEnjoy the day shopping\, strolling\, and dining\, as Charles Street closes down to vehicular traffic from Saratoga Street to North Avenue for a full day of exploration and Downtown fun. Bring your bike\, your baby\, your dog\, whatever you like! Planning for the June 3 event is still underway\, so stay tuned for more information regarding programming. \nWhile the veil of Covid is beginning to lift and masks are not required for this event\, It’s imperative that all who visit the promenade do so safely. We ask that you please abide by the rules that each business has in place to mitigate the risk of Covid for its guests and employees. \n[VISIT THE WEBSITE]

SUMMARY:Baltimore SketchWorks 2023 Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Baltimore-based architects Carlos Almeida (AECOM)\, Jerome Gray (Jerome C. Gray Architect)\, Eric J. Jenkins (University of Maryland)\, Omar Calderon Santiago (Perkins Eastman) and Gabriel Kroiz (Morgan State University) have organized a small group of sketchers called Baltimore SketchWorks. They invite everyone to help celebrate sketching and the architecture of Baltimore through sketching tours\, lectures\, and exhibitions. Their first initiative is series of monthly sketching workshops in and around Baltimore. \nThese architects\, with varied backgrounds\, practices and career paths\, believe in those the inherently human and universal qualities of sketching that link mind and body. While architects in the 21st century must embrace and use the most advanced digital technologies and tools\, architects also know that there is a need for “both/and” thinking and working and that practice requires varied tools for varied situations.  A sketch’s inaccuracies\, mistakes\, and “beautiful ugliness” not only allow for\, but advances\, the design search and connects us to one another. As architect Toshiko Mori notes\, “I think the essential aspect of drawing [is that it creates] an immediate relationship between human beings; drawing survived everything. When I go to the world\, 90% of places don’t have computers. So\, to be able to interact with people\, you have to draw. And then people can draw back. It’s still a universal language.” \nWorkshop 6 – Facades \nDate: Saturday\, June 3\nTime: 10:00am – noon\nLocation: This session will take place in the Mount Vernon neighborhood. RSVP for exact meeting details.\nBring: pens\, pencils or watercolors along with sketch and/or watercolor paper \nBaltimore SketchWorks’ June workshop will be on Saturday\, the 3rd (during the annual “Charles Street Promenade”). Architecture Professor Gabriel Kroiz will introduce elements of facade design and tips for understanding the underlying order and geometry of the facade as the starting point for more detailed drawings. Though geared to beginner and intermediate experienced sketchers\, all are welcome to attend. Limited to 20 participants. To sign up\, please contact Eric Jenkins (ericjenkinsarchitect@gmail.com). \nBaltimore SketchWorks is an evolving\, informal group of Baltimore-based architects and sketchers who celebrate architectural sketching in Charm City. The first initiative of this celebration is a series of once-a-month sketching sessions. For more information\, please see the group’s Instagram feed: baltimore_sketchworks or contact Eric Jenkins\, AIA (ericjenkinsarchitect@gmail.com). They invite everyone to participate.
