Meditation Mondays with Kim H. Walker

6:45PM – 8PM

Indiginal Artisan & Wellness Studio

213 W. Read Street, Baltimore

An ordinary person may consider meditation as a worship or prayer. But it is not so. Meditation means awareness. Whatever you do with awareness is meditation. “Watching your breath” is meditation; listening to the birds is meditation. As long as these activities are free from any other distraction to the mind, it is effective meditation. Meditation is not a technique but a way of life. Meditation Monday brings you different types of meditation, so you can see what you like!

Edgar Allan Poe’s death in Baltimore in October 1849 ensured that the writer and the city would be forever linked.

Poe in Baltimore & Beyond features highlights from the Susan Jaffe Tane Collection of Edgar Allan Poe, one of the finest private collections of Poe materials in the world.

Items on display include:

– Poe’s first published book of poems, one of only 12 known copies and “the most celebrated rarity in American literature”

– the engagement ring that Poe gave to the woman who had been his teenage sweetheart in Richmond

– the story that launched Poe’s career as an author—“MS. Found in a Bottle”— published when he won a contest in The Baltimore Saturday Visiter

– “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Fall of the House of Usher” as they first appeared to readers in magazines

– the New-York Tribune obituary that ruined Poe’s reputation

– comic book adaptations of Poe’s stories and international translations of his works

Opening Reception for “Portrait Garden”

5:30PM – 7:30PM

The World Trade Center Baltimore – Top of the World Observation Level

401 E Pratt St, Fl 27th, Baltimore

Top of the World Observation-Level Gallery hosts an opening reception for “Portrait Garden,” a solo exhibition by Lynn Cazabon. This exhibition is on view October 1, 2016 through the end of September 2017. At the opening reception guests have the chance to enjoy light refreshments, meet the artists, and view the exhibits. Please arrive by 7pm to be guaranteed entry to Top of the World. Free to all. Portrait Garden is a literal and metaphorical garden of ‘portraits’ of eleven women incarcerated at Maryland Correctional Institution for Women in Jessup, MD. These ‘portraits’ consist of photographic images of plants—selected to represent each woman—along with audio interviews in which the women discuss their plant choices and their experiences with gardening past and present. The project is the result of an exchange between the artist and inmates that used environmental stewardship as a tool for self-reflection through the creation of perennial gardens on the prison grounds. Portrait Garden started in the summer of 2013 when Cazabon began working with women who volunteered to be part of the Maryland Green Prisons Initiative, a program created to bring nature into Maryland prisons by supporting partnerships between inmates and researchers outside of the prison system. The inmates selected for participation in Portrait Garden are serving sentences that range from 5 years to Life.

The 8×10

10 E Cross St, Baltimore

Tea Leaf Green tealeafgreen.com

It ain’t easy being a gypsy, especially if one sings for their supper. San Francisco’s Tea Leaf Green are newfangled Lost Boys, a traveling gang dedicated to seeking wisdom and experience in places both glorious and seedy. In many ways, this quintet is the essence of rock’s adventurous, playfully outlaw spirit, all of which ultimately fuels songs that resonate with classic vibrations, open-ended possibilities and radio-ready charm. TLG are bruised romantics with heavy minds and a lighthearted way with experimentation, as likely to jam out a number as they are to nail a primo verse-verse-chorus pop gem.

Talking Points double album release w/ Mondawmen and Theljon Allen

8PM – 12AM

Ottobar

2549 N Howard St, Baltimore

Talking Points have been creating original, compositionally engaging music with an improvisational edge since January 2013. Since then, their work has garnered the attention of both jazz and metal fans alike. In August 2016, the band quietly released TWO full-length records of their music :”Superposition” and “Leonard” – the latter of which features exclusively compositions by Daniel Ryan as written for the quintet plus a small orchestra! This concert event is the official launch of both the records!!! Many thanks go out to our many kickstarter supporters who made financing the records possible!!!

Better yet, we have two of the best bands in Baltimore joining us to make a truly remarkable bill! Mondawmen is the hard-hitting, deeply grooving, outer-space churning combination of Chris Pumphrey-rhodes piano, John Dierker-saxophone, Brent Madsen-trumpet, Paul Joyce-bass, Erich Von Marko-drums, Jim Hannah-percussion. Theljon Allen is one of the strongest trumpet players on the scene. His music is subtle, challenging and engaging, brought to life by an ever-powerful cast of musicians.

Second Annual More Creative Power

7PM – 10PM

Area 405

More Creative Power brings artists into direct contact with elected officials, institutional anchors, and a diverse array of Baltimore residents. By building these connections with the Arts community, we shine a light on the important work they perform, and open the door for everyday residents who benefit from their creative power. If a Baltimore resident can have a meaningful cultural experience at community anchors like the Windup Space for $10, then those residents should be able to have a meaningful political experience for the same price of admission. By activating progressive sponsors and donors for More Creative Power who can afford to donate more, we can ensure it delivers our campaign the resources it needs to flourish, without curtailing access for everyday Baltimoreans.

Chilibrew attendees serve as judges for the event, voting on the best chili con carne, vegetarian chili, and home-brewed beverages provided by 60 competitors. An accompanying “celebrity-judged” competition will feature local food and drink luminaries weighing in with their favorite selections as well. But more than anything, attendees and competitors alike will have the opportunity to mingle and share food, drinks, and ideas in the service of local nonprofits. Last year, Chilibrew IX gave over $3,000 to EACH of our nonprofit beneficiaries: FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture, Farm Alliance of Baltimore City, and Baltimore Brew. We expect to once again make impactful contributions to our new selection of nonprofit organizations, announced in the coming weeks. Whether you’re looking to have a great time in support of a great cause or throw your culinary craft into the competition, we hope you’ll join us on October 7th for CBX.

Black Lung’s new album, See The Enemy, was produced by J. Robbins (The Sword, Clutch) and is scheduled for release on April 29th, 2016, on Noisolution. They will be supporting the album with a European tour in spring, including an appearance at the Freak Valley Festival with Graveyard and Dead Meadow. The storm is coming…
