Billed as the largest free arts festival, Artscape is expected to draw hundreds of thousands of people to Baltimore over the next three days. This year's theme is "Space: Explore what's out there."One exhibit at the festival has taken over a city block.It's a down-to-Earth installation that's out of this world. The "Space Place" is a solar system created by architecture students at Morgan State University, made by hand using parachute-like material."We had to first figure out a good pattern to sew all of these things together," Morgan State student Tharin Thomas said. "I didn't know how to sew when I started this class and we all became masters of the sewing machine."For the 35th anniversary of Artscape, there will be dozens of outdoor and indoor activities for everyone to explore. Organizers expect 350,000 visitors at the festival, which runs Friday through Sunday."We just know Artscape in and of itself is a galaxy on its own, so we thought space would be the perfect theme for artists to express that," Tracy Baskerville of the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts said.The Morgan State students had fun researching the planets and sharing information for Artscape patrons to learn at the exhibit, which is located in the area of Charles and Preson streets."It's amazing to learn about earth and things I don't know about," Artscape patron Mesfin Meshesha said. "It's amazing."At night, there will be projectors in each planet that will light up and two will have misting stations to help patrons cool off."At night we're going to have a DJ and it's going to be a dance party that will let them get more out of it," Thomas said.For more information about Artscape, tap here.
