A 2015 Full of Lit and Art

With the new year comes a brand new lineup of talent brought to you by the Lit and Art Reading Series at the Watermark Gallery.

The first event comes on the last Sunday of January: Sunday, January 25 from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Watermark, 100 S. Charles Street, right across from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.

For the January event, our featured talent includes CL Bledsoe, Margo Christie, Sid Gold, Charles Rammelkamp, and Sally Whitney.

 

Limestone Connection will share blues and folk-inspired originals and covers, with Jason Tinney at the harmonica and Holly Morse-Ellington at the ukulele.

 

Manzar’s original art will be on display. To hold it all together, we’ll enjoy wine, refreshments, and conversation among like-minded artists.

Like all Lit and Art events, it is free and open to the public. So come along and bring some friends!

The January event is just the tip of the iceberg. Take a look at some of the fantastic talent we have joining us on the last Sundays of January, March, June, September, and October of 2015: Madison Smartt Bell, DR Belz, CL Bledsoe, Shirley Brewer, Goodloe Byron, Margo Christie, Kathy Cottle, Caryn Coyle, Earl Crown, Dan Cuddy, Lauren Eisenberg Davis, Christopher T. George, Tom Glenn, Sid Gold, Ian Hochberg, Dave Housley, Bill Hughes, Michael Hughes, Frank S. Joseph, Limestone connection, Jerry Marconi, Bathsheba Monk, Holly Morse-Ellington, Jacob Panic, Richard Peabody, Charles Rammelkamp, Rosalia Scalia, Oscar Strangeways, Jason Tinney, Barrett Warner, Sally Whitney, Gregg Wilhelm, Mark Willen, and Joseph Young.

Each event will feature live music and original art, including the paintings of Manzar as well as other guest artists. Manzar and other visual artists have their work for sale at the gallery, both originals and prints. And many of the authors and musicians have their work for sale as well.

 Hosted by Baltimore authors Nitin Jagdish and Eric D. Goodman, the events are casual and meant to foster the local literary community. In fact, we encourage attendees to bring about five minutes of their own work to share during open mic!

Started in 2007 at The Watermark Gallery, the Lit & Art Reading Series showcases local, national, and international talent—fiction, poetry, non-fiction, memoir, original art, live music—all topped off with wine, refreshments, and conversation.

Our 2015 Lit and Art-stravaganza starts on Sunday, January 25 from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Watermark Gallery, 100 S. Charles Street, on the second floor of the Bank of America building right across from Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. Join us and find out why Lit and Art has been called the best excuse to get lit on a Sunday afternoon in Baltimore!
