Bring a Sidewalk Serenade To Your Block – For Free!
Brought to you by WYPR and Creative Alliance

We are teaming up with WYPR and the incredible team behind the program Out of the Blocks for four Serenades, in four Baltimore neighborhoods, documented for radio. We are affectionately calling these our “Tiny Porch Concerts.” 

2020 marks the 20^th anniversary of the Creative Alliance’s Art To Dine For series! That’s two decades of gathering people of all backgrounds together to celebrate art, culture, and delicious food!

Creative Alliance believes that a Baltimore without live performances is a Baltimore without joy – and we won’t stand for that!

As you likely know, working musicians, dancers, magicians, burlesque performers, aerialists, and other performance-based artists have had their gigs and their livelihoods cancelled for the foreseeable future. Join Creative Alliance in creating performance opportunities for these artists throughout Baltimore while simultaneously respecting the need for everyone to keep a safe distance.

These past weeks have been challenging for us. As staff, we have had to pause, look into the heart of our organization, revisit our mission, and reaffirm our commitment to our community, humanity, inclusivity, and to listen and learn with openness.
 
To Black communities: we hear you, we stand with you, and we are committed to digging deeper and joining you in dismantling the embedded systemic issues within our society. We will speak out against racist acts (both subtle and overt) and create a safe space for collaboration and communication. Many of these systemic issues exist within our own organization. We will do the hard work to help facilitate change right here at the Creative Alliance. 

We will listen, learn, speak up, and act.
