The Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts has announced the semifinalists for this year’s Janet & Walter Sondheim Artscape Prize.
The list of artists (see below) is impressive and illustrates the
variety and vitality of work coming out of the local arts scene—from
Neil Feather’s sculptural musical instruments to Leah Cooper’s ephemeral
installations (pictured). This year’s Sondheim winner will receive
$25,000.
