Artscape 2023: Five things not to miss as signature Baltimore arts festival returns this weekend

It’s been a long, long dry spell. You’ve been waiting for this weekend for more than four years. And now that Artscape is actually, positively, definitely, beyond-any-shadow-of-a-doubt returning in 2023, what will there be for visitors to do? Plenty. After all, Mayor Brandon Scott has declared this week “Arts and Culture Week” in Baltimore. The 39th festival will feature about 175 visual artists, more than 60 musicians and performers and 47 food and beverage vendors.
