The Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts (BOPA) awarded artist Ali Duggan the 2016 PNC Transformative Art Prize for her large-scale mural project in West Baltimore’s Harlem Park neighborhood. At the intersection of N Fulton Avenue and W Lanvale Street, Ali is creating a series of notable murals entitled A Step Forward. Charm City Streets understands that a future community garden will accompany this mural project.

Well-known graffiti artist/writer Adam Stab has been particularly busy this month. As described in a previous post, he created a stunning mural for the newly renovated Skatepark of Baltimore. The mural lines the Bowl and features a unique tattoo-theme. In addition, he and graffiti writer Later collaborated on a spectacular piece on the west side of town.
