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:

A favorite among local folk music fans for three decades and counting, the Helicon trio—composed of internationally revered musicians Chris Nornan, Robin Bullock, and Ken Kolodner—returns this month with two installments of their locally loved winter solstice performance. Featuring a medley of original, traditional, and seasonal compositions from around the globe, this year’s performances will take place on Dec. 16 at Goucher College’s Kraushaar Auditorium, with showtimes at 3:30 and 7:30 p.m., and special guests including acoustic roots quartet Charm City Junction and Irish step-dancing champ Jonathon Srour.
