I’m Feelin’ Crabby was a response to a hard moment — an outdoor crab feast and open-air art gallery in Curtis Bay and Brooklyn, held in the wake of a neighborhood shooting.

We transformed a shared space into a pop-up gallery and invited Baltimore artists to show and sell their work directly, supported by neighborhood partners and local businesses.

Seven artists exhibited and five works sold that day, with every dollar going straight to the artist. It set the template for everything after: art as a reason to bring people into the same room.
