Our ImpactThe numbers behind the work.
We believe transparency is part of the job. This page is our open ledger: what we've raised, who we've paid, what we've built, and where the money goes. Updated as we grow.

Impact to date
Every figure here comes from our own books. When we say artists get paid, this is what that looks like.
Since May 2022
Raised since founding
Grants, earned revenue, and community support, from the Maryland State Arts Council to individual donors who gave $10 at a pop-up.
Artists paid
Baltimore artists compensated for public work. Not exposure. Not experience. Paid.
Residents engaged
Neighbors who showed up to paint days, story circles, pop-up dinners, and unveilings across Baltimore City.
Major projects completed
Including the Henrietta Lacks Heritage Mural and the launch of ArtWorks in Progress, our construction-site commission program.
Countries, one exchange
The Baltimore–Rotterdam Art Bridge pairs Baltimore artist kolpeace with Rotterdam artist Naomi King, our first international residency.
Where 2026 takes us
This is our capacity-building year. The goals below are real commitments, not aspirations, and we'll report against them.
Inaugural AWIP commission
Wickerham & Lomax at 211 W 28th Street in Remington, in partnership with Seawall Development. The first proof that construction sites can be canvases and artists can be on the payroll.
Baltimore–Rotterdam Art Bridge
Naomi King arrives in Baltimore in March 2027. A community paint day, a large-scale mural in Baltimore, and a May 2027 unveiling with an artist talk to follow.
Pop-Up Series continues
Paint days, story circles, and gatherings that put neighbors in the middle of the work, not on the sidelines of it.
Groundwork for the Hub
A former Baltimore firehouse reimagined as a live/work artist residency with studios, a café, and a neighborhood living room. 2026 is the year we lay the foundation.
How the money works
Nosreme runs on three connected revenue streams. The mix is deliberate.
Earned revenue
Partnership fees from developers, cities, and institutions commissioning AWIP projects and public art. When a developer hires us, that revenue helps fund everything else.
Grants
Foundation, corporate, and public grants supporting the residency, community programming, and general operations. Funders include the Maryland State Arts Council, William G. Baker Jr. Memorial Fund, and T. Rowe Price.
Donations
Individual and recurring gifts from people who want Baltimore artists paid and Baltimore neighborhoods seen. Every dollar is tax-deductible.
We're not dependent on any single source. Our earned revenue subsidizes the programming that grants alone couldn't cover.
