In 2027, We're Building Baltimore's First Internationally Connected Residency Hub.

A permanent live/work facility for residency artists. Studios, apartments, community space, and the infrastructure to host artists from cities around the world.

Why a Hub

Most artist residencies in Baltimore are project-based, short-term, or hosted out of larger institutions. Few are built specifically for international exchange — and none combine residency, public art commissioning, and community programming under one roof. The 2027 Hub fills that gap.

It's also a logical extension of how Nosreme already operates. We're already hosting artists in residence (Naomi King, August 2026). We're already building international partnerships (Rotterdam, with more in development). We're already producing community programming and public art commissions. The Hub consolidates all of this into a single permanent home — which means more residencies per year, deeper community programming, and the credibility to attract larger international partners.

What the Hub will include
  • On-site artist studios
  • Live/work apartments for residency artists
  • Shared community space for programming, story circles, and events
  • Exhibition and public-facing presentation space
  • Administrative offices for Nosreme operations

The Reference Model

The Hub is modeled on Creative Alliance Baltimore's residency program — a live/work model with on-site studios that's been operating successfully in Highlandtown for over a decade. We're also drawing from the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in Omaha and Headlands Center for the Arts in San Francisco for international residency program design.
