HEY SMALLTIMORE!
Known as a big city that can feel small, Baltimore is a city where everyone knows everyone, with locals affectionately giving the city the nickname “Smalltimore”. These interactions often begin at public markets and rowhouse stoops, serving as focal points for connection and innovation that have challenged the status quo locally and consequentially, nationwide. This track will feature individuals, projects, and organizations alike that have come together at various scales, outside of traditional practice, across a variety of disciplines to create a grassroots paradigm shift across the country.
