Howard Street Mural Opening

Josh Van Horne

As part of the 2011 Transmodern festival, 8 new murals are being added to the unoccupied, city-owned, dilapidated storefronts on the 400 block of Howard street.... At least Baltimore is doing THAT with them...

The opening for the murals by artists Caitlin Cunningham, Gary Kachadourian, Jordan Bernier, Josh Van Horne, Emily C-D, and Shana Palmer is tonight at 9pm - 11pm.  Preview them here:

NEW RAAAAAAD MURAL by Josh Van Horne

Check out this badass mural by Josh Van Horne near the Copycat! Each symbol, including the backwards font represents a past or present aspect of the neighborhood. Sewing machines, keyboards, bottle tops, letter press, paint brushes, cameras, all in hyper-colored repetitive pattern. Definitely what Baltimore mural aesthetics could use some more of! Good job Josh!
