Artscape 2025: Defining a cultural moment

The inaugural Scout Art Fair, curated by Derrick Adams and Teri Henderson, featured over 40 solo artists and six galleries, with vendors reporting sold-out displays. Adams praised the event, calling it a “dream come true” and highlighting the support from the mayor’s office.

At Baltimore Center Stage, Artscape’s In Conversation & Beyond the Reel series hosted discussions on art, culture, and equity. Actor Kofi Siriboe, filmmaker DC Wade, and actress Lex Scott Davis led conversations, celebrating Baltimore’s storied artist and filmmaking community.

The Artscape After Dark programming drew packed crowds to Hotel Ulysses and Ikonic Live nightclub, where Frenchie Davis performed and poet Dr. Rebecca Dupas curated Femme Frequency. Musician Eze Jackson praised the mayor for DJing at the festival’s afterparty, calling the event a new era for Artscape.

Live performances featured Fantasia, Robin Thicke, Freeway, LeToya Luckett-Coles, Tanner Adell, Frenchie Davis, Gabby Samone, and more. Thicke reflected on Baltimore’s role in his early success, while Fantasia offered advice to rising artists, urging them to “just put out your music.”
