good neighbor Design Camp '24

A Student of "__________"


July 29 - August 2

Staying curious is a creative act—being your own best teacher while learning all you can from those who paved the way. From the auto-didactics to those who found their creative spark in the classroom, we're making room for everyone to be students of design in all its forms while coming together to show the world that Baltimore is a Design City.
