3. In the Round

Knitting creative spaces

In the Round is a collaborative project by Baltimore based artists Morgan Frailey and (What Weekly contributor) Kristin McWharter. On view are a series of fiber-based sculptures and performative objects that are constructed via traditional knitting and weaving techniques and that speak to a larger idea of social circles and interactions. The work addresses both the physical challenges of creating space as well as the challenges of breaking social barriers.

4. A Night of Live Music at Current Space

Featuring Soft Cat, Vio/Miré, Peals,  Teen Men, and Mountain Peaks
A sedate evening of folk-inspired indie-rock at the mysterious downtown gallery Current Space.  Bring your best flannel and pair of boat shoes.

5. 4 Hours of Funk

I’ve been dancing since I was twelve

Get funked and maybe even see some handsome members of the What Weekly editorial staff dancing their hearts out.  One of the better reoccurring parties in Station North.
