Join us for a day-long celebration marking 20 years of Arts Every Day’s impact in Baltimore City Public Schools—honoring the people who make creative learning possible.
As the culminating finale of AED20: A Love Letter to Baltimore Arts + Education—our year-long campaign uplifting creativity, equity, and community—this event brings together families, artists, educators, and supporters to celebrate two decades of impact.
Together, we’ll pay tribute to Baltimore’s culture-bearers: the artists, educators, and arts advocates across generations who have shaped and sustained the arts in our schools and throughout our city.
Whether you come for the morning of hands-on artmaking or the evening of performances and recognition—or both—you’ll be part of a celebration that reflects the heart of Baltimore’s creative spirit.
Proceeds from the event support Arts Every Day’s in-school programs, reaching more than 33,000+ Baltimore City students each year. With your support, we aim to raise $100,000 toward a milestone: $2 million invested in transformative arts experiences for students.
