Small artists, Big artwork

It's Summertime & the  Fresh food   is great!

Artists Michael & Linda prepare the kids for a big project.

Large berries are providing unique seating for the patrons of the Tuesday Market in Lauraville.  Some community members pitched in to help paint berries that will take their place on the roof at the market.

Thanks to PNC & BOPA for making this happen!

A blueberry, a strawberry & a blackberry are coming to life.

The project is almost complete!

If you haven't stopped at the Green Onion Market,
located at 5500 Harford Road,
be sure to visit them at the
Tuesday Market each week.

Zahradka's Farm brings sweet corn, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant
and many more fresh vegetables each week.
          

Buy your fresh herbs from God Scent Herbs to spice up Zahradka's
vegetables for a great summer dinner!

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.

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.
