Public Programs & Events
Making Space Bmore collaborates with artists and local organizations to offer a variety of public programs and events. In particular, our arts workshops provide access to resources, knowledge, and hands-on experiences that empower individuals and groups to explore new artistic practices, challenge social issues, and strengthen community ties.
Whether you're looking to explore a new creative medium, engage in thought-provoking dialogue, or develop new skills, our public programs create space for growth, connection, and creative expression.

During the Summer and Fall of 2025, Third Place Artist-in-Residence Hannah Atallah hosted community weaving workshops on a flipped table top loom! Final weavings were raffled to raise mutual aid funds for families in Gaza. This method of weaving comes from Joyce Scott, a Baltimore based artist, and uses a table flipped upside down to create a portable loom. Multiple people can weave together in communion.
