Rain? What rain? Despite storms that closed Artscape proper (and cancelled anticipated headliners Chaka Khan and Sheila E.) on Friday and Saturday nights, dance floors throughout Station North were packed into the early hours of Sunday morning in celebration of the fest’s 40th anniversary.
Spots including Metro Baltimore, 1722, The Royal Blue, Club Car, Mobtown Ballroom, and The Crown—which sadly celebrated its final Artscape before it closes for good later this month—kept revelers busy with everything from drag shows and all-night DJ dance parties to experimental bands and metal acts performing in conjunction with Subscape.
Check out scenes from the Station North clubs after dark, below:
