Documenting the Baltimore Renaissance

WHAT WEEKLY

About

Baltimore is experiencing a Renaissance. We’re going to document it. And share it with the world.

Proud soldiers in the war against boredom, What Weekly puts the weird and wonderful in the public eye.

 

As Baltimore experiences a cultural, artistic and intellectual rebirth, What Weekly, an award-winning web magazine, documents the great Baltimore Renaissance. What Weekly is co-created by the community it represents and exemplifies the spirit of the digital revolution at the intersection of art and technology.

In our Calendar of Events, you’ll find a hand-picked list of the city’s most compelling events from people who have lived in Baltimore’s creative core for years.

Launched in January 2010, What Weekly is an online arts and culture magazine founded and published by Brooke Hall and Justin Allen and is thoughtfully co-created by our community.

If you find any joy and value in What Weekly, please consider supporting this project.
