Art-lovers would be remiss not to visit Graffiti Alley, a hidden alleyway in Baltimore that has served as a haven for graffiti artists because it is legal for them to practice their craft there. The legendary L-shaped space constantly evolves, with even the trash cans transformed into works of art. The energy in the alley is contagious, and it’s not uncommon for breakdance parties to pop up in the street among the area’s vibrant murals. Another essential destination for creatives is Baltimore's first Bust Boys & Poets. This multipurpose space serves as a bar, restaurant, bookstore, and event space. Initially founded in 2005, the space has since served as a mecca for politically-minded artists working within every medium.
