Baltimore, Maryland, is known as Charm City, which gained the moniker “Charm City, U.S.A.” during a heat wave in the summer of 1974, with advertisements gloating about the city’s hidden treasures gracing major newspapers at the time. Since then, the name has never left.
Within Charm City, there are several Black-Owned Art Galleries that are treasures worth exploring and supporting. If you live in Baltimore or are planning a future trip to the city, go check these out.
