Art on Purpose: Current and Past Projects

Inspired by maps from The Walters Art Museum’s Maps: Finding Our Place in the World exhibition, Art on Purpose held artistic map-making workshops in fall 2007 with youth and adults from 23 different Baltimore communities. Numerous maps, drawings, photographs, and preliminary sketches from the workshops are brought together at School 33 Art Center for Maps on Purpose: The Big Picture—the only time something from each and every participating neighborhood will be exhibited in one place at the same time.

Maps on Purpose is made possible by generous support from Nancy Dorman & Stan Mazaroff, the Golden-Davison Family Foundation, the Zanvyl & Isabelle Krieger Fund, the Macht Philanthropic Fund, the Peck Foundation, Seawall Development, the Alvin & Fannie B. Thalheimer Foundation, Union Memorial Hospital, and Leonard & Lindley Weinberg.

In-kind support generously provided by Dan Meyers Photography, Fleckenstein Gallery & Archival Arts, and Spatial Systems Associates.

Art on Purpose wishes to extend special thanks to the hundreds of individuals and organizations too numerous to name who contributed time, energy, and ideas in ways large and small to make Maps on Purpose possible. This project is really their project.

This program is part of the Baltimore Festival of Maps, a citywide celebration of all-things mapping from March 15 through June 8 with more than 45 exhibitions, tours, seminars, performances, lectures, hands-on activities, workshops, and films.  For the complete schedule of Baltimore Festival of Maps activities, visit www.BaltimoreFestivalofMaps.com.
