Who we are. A peek behind the curtain.

Bromo was founded in 2012 to build a thriving arts neighborhood in the heart of downtown Baltimore.

Today, it’s morphed into a 117-acre epicenter of creativity, flanked by Mount Vernon and the Inner Harbor and anchored by landmarks like the Bromo Seltzer Arts Tower and Lexington Market.

We’re proud of it and the hundreds of artists, patrons, and organizations that call our district home.

What We Do

In collaboration with the community, we’ve launched events like Light Up Lexington and Reel BAD Film Nights, and played host to the Charm City Fringe Festival and the Charm City Night Market. We’ve also popped up throughout the district with arts organizations like Sofar Sounds, Baltimore Rock Opera Society, and Fluid Movement.
The district exists to help creatives do their best work, and we are in constant pursuit of ways to support them. New programs are in the works: micro-grants for community-driven projects, artist-led activations, and events that bring the district to life. We’re also pushing to get Bromo the visibility it deserves through expanded marketing, new partnerships, and programming that invites people in. Whatever we’re working on, the goal stays the same—make Bromo a place where creativity drives community and economic growth.
