Art Space is a recurring element in the UpFront section of our print publication that spotlights a local artist or project making an impact in the city at large. Here’s what’s going on this month:

In the last several years, Baltimore has been known to adapt and revive unconventional spaces. (See: Ministry of Brewing in Fells Point, a taproom housed inside the 19th-century St. Michael’s Church.) Now, The Parlor, which takes over the Stewart & Mowen funeral home on West North Avenue, follows that trend, as a multipurpose hangout for creative types. Already, the venue, which will function as a meeting space and speakeasy with artists’ studios above it, has hosted its first exhibition, Memento Mori, an homage to Baltimore’s dearly departed. This month, the folks at Standing Ovation Vintage are hosting a prolonged pop-up marketplace in the space—in which thrifters can browse furniture, decor, books, and clothing from a handful of local purveyors.
