Downtown Cultural Arts Center — Local services in Baltimore

On the corner of Howard and Mulberry, the Downtown Cultural Arts Center touts a nice venue for events like the Dew More Youth Spoken Word Festival I attended. The Downtown Cultural Arts Center was certainly the place to have it, as it has three levels graced with beautiful art work done by local artist for purchase.

This event had the blessing of three great DJ's. DJ Mysterious, DJ Focus and DJ Harvey D. The Executive Director of Dew More Baltimore, Kenneth Morrison, was personable and hosted a fun event sponsored by local businesses and larger business like Baltimore City Public Schools, Enoch Pratt, T. Rowe Price, The Mayor's Office and others.

Difficulty parking. As a matter of fact, parking is horrible, practically nowhere to park. Food could've been better. This was to be a Jazz Brunch, but the Jazz Band never actually performed. The singers (they were great) had the dj play their track music for background. The jazz band was to play for the singers but didn't. The Jazz Band played one song, that's it. Hopefully, the next Jazz Brunch Event, the Jazz Band, will play at least 5...
