MRI Programs is committed to providing creative opportunities for Baltimore's emerging artists. This summer, our Hip Hop on Howard Summer Camp advances that mission with an innovative collaboration. We've partnered with the Creatively Black Baltimore Exhibit to give our young artists the unique opportunity to display their work in the exhibit. This partnership spotlights the extraordinary talents of our local youth while celebrating the rich, creative heritage of Baltimore's Black artists.

A Unique Creative Journey

Students from MRI's Hip Hop on Howard summer program and Baltimore Youthworks participants are embarking on an inspiring project to create a song and music video inspired by the Creatively Black exhibit. After an immersive exhibit tour led by Baltimore's Larry Poncho Brown, the students channeled their inspiration into a powerful song and visual concept.

 

This unique collaboration allows students to explore their creativity and provides hands-on experience in music composition, video production, and dance. The video, conceived and executed by the students, will feature dynamic dance performances by MRI program participants, showcasing the full spectrum of their artistic skills.

The culmination of this project will be the premiere of the song and video featured in the Creatively Black exhibit. This event will celebrate the students' hard work and creativity and allow the community to gather and appreciate the vibrant expressions of Baltimore creatives.
