Do You Know Charm City? (Part One)

- Baltimore's Inner Harbor
Leading up to Americans for the Arts Half-Century Summit in June, we will be previewing our host city Baltimore and all it has to offer in a series of blog posts entitled "Do You Know Charm City?" The first post comes from our host, the Baltimore Office of Promotion & the Arts.
This is our Baltimore: more than two hundred small neighborhoods that are as quirky and individual as the people who live in them; restaurants with award-winning food recognized by James Beard himself and the foundation named in his honor; art museums and galleries; historic buildings and breathtaking architecture; cultural attractions such as the National Aquarium, the Maryland Science Center, Fort McHenry, and the Great Blacks in Wax museum; high-end boutique shopping and kitschy thrift stores; art movie houses and live theaters; sports arenas that are home to the Orioles, the Ravens, and the Blast; and nightlife—from local bands of every genre to our own symphony orchestra.

After considerable Vegas stimulation and conference information overload, I'm still thinking about yesterday's Arts Education Innovator and Culminating Forum session with Sir Ken Robinson. I first saw him speak in Lisbon, Portugal at the UNESCO World Conference on Arts Education and then lucked out months later by catching his address to the National Governor's Association on C-Span late one night.
Sir Ken Robinson is an excellent storyteller. He's witty, concise and manges to expose deeper meaning through simple narrative. (Check out his new book: "Out of Our Minds"). He makes a strong case for the potential of arts education to address global economic changes and the growing antagonisms between international cultural groups. His discussion yesterday of a "climate crisis in human resources" struck a particular note since some colleagues and I had experienced a related phemenonon at lunch the day before.
