One fine Sunday two years ago, Baltimore resident Daisy Brown happened upon the Peale after visiting the Farmers’ Market on Holliday Street. She fell in love with the place, and we fell in love with her! Today Daisy is the Peale’s staff photographer, and has recently started the “Stoop Shoots” program shooting portraits of her neighbors and East Baltimore residents from a safe social distance while taking her dog on daily walks. She’s also showing them how they can record their stories during the pandemic – even if they don’t have internet access at home – so we can share them with you and help people everywhere know Baltimore as the storied city it is!
Your gift to the Baltimore Stories Fund helps Daisy and the Peale ensure that all the voices of our communities are heard and preserved in this historic time. This community fund is designed to provide micro-grants, capacity-building, and production support to help creators like Daisy share authentic Baltimore stories.
- $50 Sponsors one year of Peale promotional and capacity-building support for a Baltimore storyteller
