We're going to explore one of the true hidden wonders of Washington, D.C., a Civil War fort nestled deep in Rock Creek Park. In July, 1864, a Confederate Army attempted a surprise invasion of Washington, D.C., hoping to sow panic and drive Congress and President Lincoln from the Capitol. Confederate forces swept into the city, and fought a desperate battle among the northern defenses of Washington. President Lincoln rode over to the see the fighting, the only time in American history a president has been under enemy fire. Eventually Union forces repelled the attack, and Washington was saved. It’s considered one of the greatest what-ifs in American history: Had the Union lost the battle, most historians believe there would have been a negotiated settlement to the war, and a durable Confederate nation. We’re going to visit Fort DeRussy, one of the forts that drove back the Confederate attack, and learn the full story of how the Civil War came to Washington. Abandoned after the war and overgrown, Fort DeRussy was practically lost to history. Today, it’s virtually unknown: I grew up blocks away and didn't even know it was there. It's an astonishing, beautiful ruin in a peaceful forest grove. Other things to note Please check the weather in advance and dress accordingly. Wear clothing that you don't mind getting a bit dirty and be sure to wear comfy shoes.

The Bromo Arts District has some exciting and rapid changes happening within. This area has recently received the prestigious distinction of being an arts and entertainment district which is a state designation. This means artists which live and work within its borders are privy to certain tax breaks. There are live/work apts with galleries and pop-up events (some of our tours will be scheduled during these events). There are a variety of murals which are part of larger series throughout the city. We will be able to see work by artists: Michael Owen, Jahru, Jay Coleman, and NEVER 2501. Many of these walls are of very high-caliber but the gentrification of this area is such that it is very likely we will lose many of these walls in the next 5 years. We will also learn of the anchoring arts organizations which have been here for many years, as well as the up and coming newer businesses helping to bring new life to this forgotten area of town. We will begin our journey at the bunshop on read st. BIPOC owned and offering a very unique selection of eats and drinks, as well as its eclectic atmosphere which has gold accents and unforgettable decor. This is one of the only cafes offering Thai tea and vietnamese iced coffee, as well as rotiboys (a malaysian pastry).

Our guests will meet at a hidden gem called the Avenue Bakery. There we will begin our journey to discover the richness of West Baltimore through its history and murals. This area of town has such deep roots into the civil rights era, desegregation to today's street artists who pour their hardwork onto the empty walls here. There are some powerful social justice murals made in response to the black lives matter movement, including portraits of trayvon martin and freddie gray. Baltimore is such a rich place for the work being done in equity and equality for race relations - the art displays this, as Baltimore has been a majority african american city for quite sometime. Many of the businesses and places we learn about in this area of time have been in existence for quite sometime with long multi-generational stories beginning with the bakery we are meeting at which is known for Poppay's rolls!

The East Baltimore Mural Tour takes us through a neighborhood generally only enjoyed by those who live there. There are community narratives that we will be privy to as we sojourn deeper into the thick of the city. There is a series which was begun in the community organization BOCEK and based upon the people who run it and take care of their community. Through this tour we will gain a deeper appreciation of the interconnectedness of city neighbors; how they care for oneanother, grow together, advocate for their families, and support the efforts of revitalization. This longer tour is rich with both contemporary and more traditional walls. Tour goers will experience quite a bit of work by Justin Nethercut, better known as 'Nether', as well as Charles Lawrence and Bridget Cimino. Most walls were completed within the last 7 years. This tour will shift one's understanding of the innercity. Many misunderstand how lovely and interconnected the city is because of the juxtapostion of the grit of it. This tour hopes to shed light on the flipside of the perception of the innercity.

In this walking tour, you will begin your journey at Sophomore Coffee. Then you will begin a very diverse journey through charles village to learn about the local restaurants and street art to be viewed here. This area is not dominated by any one art movement but rather is a lovely mix of artists and a nice sampling of both international and local creators. A 60-90 minute walk covers a brisk walk through residential, commercial and slightly industrial area. You will view work by artists: Gaia, Michael Owen, Nether, Decertor, John Ellsberry, and Greg Gannon. At each wall, you will receive unique details about the artist, who funded the wall, the concept behind each, year it was created, and stories behind the origin. This tour is truly about if 'the walls could talk' - come join me to learn about their stories.

Why wine and dine, when you can wine and bind? Come share in some great local wine with a great community of book lovers, while learning to bind your very own journal. In this workshop you'll get a complete introduction of all the necessary tools required for traditional book binding, while having an opportunity to explore the inter-workings of the Drama MaMa Bookshop Incubator Space. After which you'll work with a variety of found materials to design and personalize your journal cover and learn the long-stitch book binding method from me, THE DRAMA MAMA. Come get a unique hands on experience that could last a lifetime! Other things to note Parking is pretty simple in the area. It's a residential/business area with plenty of parking.
