The Bromo Arts District became the third designated arts district in Baltimore in July 2012. Anchoring the District is the Bromo Tower, which now exclusively houses area artists. The District extends north to Martin Luther King Boulevard and Read Street, and south to Pratt, and is home to an impressive range of cultural organizations, visual and performing artists, businesses, and restaurants. Scratch your theatre itch at Everyman Theatre or the Hippodrome, grab an al fresco dinner at FORNO, and finish your night with cocktails at Ale Wife. You’re in an arts district. It’s time to act like it.
