In this episode of The Truth in This Art, I talk with BRUSH Mural Fest co-founders Jaz Ehrenberg and Saba Hamidi, along with Mac Campbell, Executive Director of the Baltimore Convention Center. We discuss the BRUSH Mural Fest Celebration, taking place on September 14th, which highlights Baltimore’s talented local artists. Jaz and Saba share the story behind BRUSH, their focus on uplifting emerging muralists through a hands-on mentorship program, and their commitment to creating community-driven public art. Mac explains the Convention Center’s role in hosting the celebration and supporting the local arts. Together, we explore how public art can transform spaces and build a stronger creative community in Baltimore.
