The BmoreArt Journal of Art + Ideas is released twice a year–each fall and spring–and offers a thematic and image-dense account of art and cultural offerings in the region. All of the writing, photos, art, and design are created locally and offers a unique, authentic, and diverse perspective on Baltimore as a creative muse and environment. The print publication covers visual arts, fashion, design, architecture, food, film, performance, and politics and viewed through the lens of creative cultural production.
This issue of the magazine, our 5th, was released in the spring of 2018.
