It's all about the berries!

For those who have been following our artists' progress as new "berry seats" appear each week, you will be happy to know that the project is nearly finished.  It's all about the berries.  This week, help us paint the final berries that will soon find a home on the roof at the Tuesday Market in Lauraville.

Berry seats offer unusual seating at the market.

Jeanne-Marie Burdette works on the final rooftop berries.

Berries Galore

Berries aren't just delicious in pies, ice cream, freshly picked and popped in your mouth, but they also make great seats!

As you may remember, we were honored to be awarded a "Transformative Art"grant, from PNC and the Baltimore Office of Promotions, earlier on this year. The project is now in full swing with berries popping up around the market. 

Jeanne-Marie Burdette has been hard at work creating each berry. She is currently in the process of making the small lightweight berries that will be found on roof, coming out of the soon-to-be created basket. 

The berries that are currently sprawled across the market grounds have been being put to good use by many...

Also, we would like to take this time to thank Chef Mac's Louisiana Cuisine for pleasing our lovely market crowds for four years! Thank you, for all that you do!

Art Projects

It can be really nice to sit down and do an art project every once in awhile. You know, take out your random box of art supplies that includes everything from scissors and glue sticks to glitter and foam animals. Anything goes in art boxes, the more random, the better.

Hamilton-Lauraville Main Street is pulling out their large art supply box, along with their exciting PNC and Baltimore Office of Promotions & The Arts grant that they were recently granted. With a slightly more organized art box then you might find at your house, the Transformative Art Project grant will provide the area with exciting public art forms.

Currently there are two projects in the works that will address the ongoing and historical presence of urban agriculture in the area, adding on to the two street murals that were put into place last year.

The first of these design ideas include a large carrot sticking out of the soon to be open Green Onion space, located on the corner of Harford Road and Hamilton Avenue.

The second design project will be located on the market lot, and will consist of a large basket on the roof, filled to the brim with market goodies, and have berries falling from the basket creating seating around the market lot.

We hope that you are as excited about these innovative art projects as we are! Stay tuned for more art and market updates, as we slowly slide closer to opening day. In the mean time, crack open that old art supply box of yours and get to your own creative projects.
