Station North, the neighborhood bounded to the north by North Avenue and to the south by Penn Station, is “poised” for big things, as Ben Stone, executive director of Station North Arts and Entertainment Inc.told Technically Baltimore in September. Now there’s more.

Indeed, since being designated an official arts district by Maryland state in 2002, Station North has accomplished quite a bit: new businesses (restaurants, music venues, art galleries) have opened up, the Open Walls mural project brought street artists from around the world to Baltimore last spring, the National Endowment for the Arts bestowed the arts district with an Our Town grant and Station North held a kickass 10-year anniversary party atop the Charles Street parking garage. (Just one of many events from the inaugural Baltimore Innovation Week.)
The impetus behind it all? Giving artists and creative-class types the opportunity to revitalize a downtrodden neighborhood.
But now Station North Arts and Entertainment Inc. is looking to build a new office space for itself at the intersection of North Avenue and N. Charles Street, and it needs $10,000 to complete the project.
Donate to Station North’s Kickstarter campaign.
Formerly the site of New York Fried Chicken (and presently the site of one of the Open Walls murals), the building at 1 W. North Avenue will be transformed into office space for Stone and company, gallery space for artists and theater space for the Annex Theater.
