Baltimore art banner project

For two months, about 200 banners produced by local artists, will be hung in various districts near some Baltimore city parks, including Druid Hill and Patterson Parks. Afterwards the banners will be converted into bags and sold.

For more information check out the website for the Baltimore Urban Forest Project.
