Project RestART Programs
Creative Community Sponsorships
Each month Project RestART sponsors local Black creatives who are interested in creating art and cultural experiences that are open to the public, through our Creative Community Sponsorships. Projects which provide paid opportunities to local Baltimore artists take priority. Request or learn more about creative community sponsorship here.

Emerging Artist Fellowship
The Black Arts District offers a 10- month fellowship to a young creative, aged 18-24. This fellow receives training, mentorship, networking opportunities and a $20,000 stipend. The Emerging Artist Fellow is also responsible for producing a public showcase or exhibition in their area of interest, that celebrates the people and places that make up West Baltimore, along with their newly developed skills and creative achievements.

Project RestART is also the engine behind our Marquee events. Funds from the RestART program produce events that both hire and train black creatives. Learn more.
