MARYLAND INSTITUTE COLLEGE OF ART GALLERIES: John Waters Is the Godfather of Baltimore’s Art Scene

Dsc04058

Maryland Institute College of Art Galleries issued the following announcement on Nov. 1.

BmoreArt founder Cara Ober interviews six local artists (most are #MICAmade!), about the influence of Baltimore art icon John Waters (via Vulture)

John Waters is one of Baltimore’s greatest cultural exports. If you know next to nothing about Baltimore, you probably learned it from watching one of his films — all of which have been set in the city in which he grew up, and still lives. Whether intentionally or as a byproduct of his films, the Prince of Puke has become a pillar of the city’s creative community, inspiring lawns full of plastic pink flamingos as well as a certain clever insouciance.
