Workshops are held in locations throughout Baltimore city and adjacent counties at the request of sponsoring organizations.

Canton’s Hatton Senior Center has always been a favorite site.
Be sure to check out the exterior windows of the Center. Each one was decorated with a scene from the neighborhood by a Master Screen Painter when the building was designed in 1989 as part of a percent for art program. http://www.baltimorecity.gov/neighborhoods/facilities/senior.html.
