Baker Artist Portfolios

We call it the Federal Hill Parlor Series, but more and more Baltimoreans are throwing open the doors of their homes to display local musical talent at its best. The main attraction here is music in your community.

Magic happens when music, dance and spoken word wraps and engulfs a space. An Evening of Artistic excellence is an annual concert series of Baker Artist Award winners. The first performance venue was the Enoch Pratt Free Library and for the past three years it has been held at the Baltimore Museum of Art. Featuring Carl Grubbs (saxophone), Vincent E. Thomas (dance/choreographer), Adam Hopkins (bass), and Rob Levit (guitar), and Eric Allen (drums) from 2009 to the current artists awarded the Baker Award and B Grant winners.

Photographs, ring games, hymns, blankets, recipes, lessons, heirlooms, and fading memories... (Vincent E. Thomas)

"Photographs, ring games, hymns, blankets, recipes, lessons, heirlooms, and fading memories"

This project captures reflections and memories of loved ones through spoken text, movement, music, video and projected images. The creation process for this work is informed through community engagement activities, table talks, interviews, and creative explorations with young and old.

"Thomas mined the deeply felt connections of grandmothers and their grandchildren." (Washington Post)
