Baltimore & Your Stay
We're looking forward to welcoming you to Baltimore.
Baltimore is a community, not a backdrop. We want to spend time learning with people who know this place, listening carefully, and considering what their experience can teach us about our own work. Bring your curiosity—and a willingness to question an assumption or two.
Partnership grounded in respect
We don't arrive assuming we have the answers. We want to learn with local organizations and community members, respect their knowledge, and contribute in ways that make sense to them. Our 2027 community partner will be announced soon.
A waterfront setting with a story
