Artists & Galleries

A neighborhood of makers, filled with color & art.

Highlandtown. Home to the Creative Alliance, Highlandtown Gallery, Crystal Moll Gallery, Dreamers & Make-Believers Comics and Books, and more. Where we showcase our talents in the street with impromptu Mariachi bands, yarn bombings, and dance performances.

Highlandtown is a neighborhood of makers: designers, jewelry makers, metal workers, and puppeteers working alongside coffee roasters, piñata makers, and chefs. Home to a muralist who opened an international residency program, a tech company inventing slick new phone apps, and a sculptor restoring Baltimore statues and creating custom seating for our local plaza.

Joann Dewwealth-O’Brien

Joann Dewwealth-O’Brien didn’t start making art until an adult, when, in 2014, she moved from Malaysia to Baltimore.
