We are excited about our official public debut of Preserving Baltimore’s Koreatown at the 2026 Asia North Festival!

This year’s Asia North Festival takes place at the historic SNF Parkway Theater, home of the Maryland Film Festival. Come and check out our installation, see some concept designs created by BluePrint Cafe architects and the 2026 Asia North art exhibition curated by Dylan K. Hill all through May. Learn more about Asia North and see what other exciting events are happening here in the heart of Baltimore’s “unofficial” Koreatown here.
