This year marks the fourth year of Unidos En El Arte, Creative Alliance's annual exhibition celebrating Latino artists in Baltimore and beyond. What began as a single show has grown into a tradition, one built on supportive relationships between artists, families, and neighbors in Highlandtown and across the city. The exhibition brings together work that merges craft and fine art, honoring both heritage and experimentation. Join us for the grand opening on October 16 at 6pm. Unidos has never been just an exhibition; it is a community that shows up for its artists.

Named for an ancient Celtic harvest festival in honour of the Irish god Lugh, Lúnasa was formed in 1997 from members of some of the greatest Irish groups of the previous decade, an early review from Folk Roots magazine describing the band as an “Irish music dream team”. Having since performed over 2,000 shows across 36 countries, Lúnasa has won multiple awards and become one of the most influential bands in the history of traditional music. Collaborations with singers Natalie Merchant, Mary-Chapin Carpenter, and Tim O’Brien and high-profile concerts at The Hollywood Bowl, New York’s Carnegie Hall, Glastonbury Festival and Bercy Arena Paris helped broaden the band’s audience and cement it place at the forefront of contemporary Irish music.
