Creativity Center Grand Opening!

Sat, Nov 12th 11:00 am Creativity Center

Free for Everyone

Celebrate the groundbreaking union of our two buildings – The Patterson and the NEW Creativity Center!

Creative Alliance | Celebrate the Grand Opening of the new Creativity Center

On Saturday, November 12th, we invite Baltimore to wander through both Creative Alliance buildings to experience the best Creative Alliance has to offer and see highlights of what is to come!

We can’t think of a better way to celebrate than opening all our doors, so you, your family, friends, and neighbors can dance, eat, create, and explore throughout the day! Get crafty with the Artesanas in the beautiful storefront classroom, watch cooking demonstrations from many countries in the teaching kitchen, and pop into a salsa, capoeira, or hip-hop lesson in the dance studio. The historic Patterson, with its bright and shiny refinished marquee, is also open! Listen to Sidewalk Serenades in the BUS stop, grab a cocktail in the Marquee Lounge, visit the exhibitions, and meet our NEW Resident Artists in their studios. There’s even free hot chocolate!
