Youth Art Sees Future Harbor in Baltimore
13 Oct
Summary
- New art installation previews Baltimore's future Inner Harbor.
- 31 Baltimore Youth Arts students created the artwork.
- Exhibit is part of the National Aquarium's Harbor Wetland display.
An interactive art installation at Baltimore's National Aquarium offers a glimpse into the city's future. This new exhibit, a collaboration with Baltimore Youth Arts (BYA), features twelve original artworks created by 31 BYA students. These pieces envision a healthy Inner Harbor a century from now.
The artwork was designed by students from BYA, a program supporting youth impacted by the juvenile justice system. The students collaborated with aquarium educators and conservationists during the spring and summer of 2026. Their work is the second installment in the Harbor Wetland's Future Harbor display, which refreshes art every 2-3 years.
The exhibit is free and allows visitors to imagine the harbor's potential in 25, 50, and 100 years. It highlights creative entrepreneurship and mentorship, shaping both individual artists and the community's vision for its future.
