how does studio baltimore work?

each studio baltimore session will be comprised of a small team of students from different majors who, with the guidance of a faculty member, connect with a different neighborhood in baltimore. the process is broken into three parts. the first step is visiting the neighborhood; walking around, observing, talking to people, and essentially finding its essence. the second step is creating a plan of action; debriefing the experience and beginning to process what the role of an artist can be in the community. the final step is implementation; returning to the neighborhood, and actually creating something that will bring some sort of change. it can be anything, just as long as it starts the ripple effect.
