Upcoming Events

  • Racial Justice Concert Series: Noah Pierre & Band

    Time
    7:30p,-9:00pm
    Location
    American Visionary Art Museum

    On Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2022 at 7:30pm Baltimore’s Noah Pierre & Band, a collective of young and upcoming local musicians from all over the DMV will bring their unique blend of rock, soul, and jazz to the Sculpture Barn at the American Visionary Arts Museum. Called “the best museum in Maryland” by USA Today, AVAM opens its impressive and whimsical Sculpture Barn for this one-of-a-kind event. The concert is jointly hosted by NOAHCON, the annual conference of the National Organization of Arts in Health.

    Tickets for this FREE event are available through Eventbrite here.

    Noah Pierre & Band will perform in support of the International Rescue Committee (IRC), an organization that provides opportunities for refugees, asylees, victims of human trafficking, survivors of torture and other immigrants to thrive in Baltimore and around Maryland. The IRC works with government bodies, civil society actors and local volunteers to help refugees and immigrants integrate and contribute to our communities.

    The Racial Justice Concert Series (RJCS), a collaboration among Johns Hopkins students, faculty, and staff, harnesses the power of music to bring awareness to issues of racism in Baltimore, and to support Baltimore organizations that focus on racial justice work. The RJCS features performances by Baltimore musicians and provides a platform for racial justice organizations to educate audiences about their efforts. The RJCS is cooperatively produced and funded by the Johns Hopkins Program in Arts, Humanities, & Health, Johns Hopkins Center for Music and Medicine, and Johns Hopkins International Arts + Mind Lab.

    COVID Guidelines: Masks are recommended for all guests but will remain optional.
