Yesterday, we had the incredible honor of hosting a portion of the #BOOST Program Small Business Roundtable. It was nice to know that our efforts to revitalize #DowntownBaltimore are being supported on many levels. #MRIPrograms #MRIStudios #BaltimoreArts #BaltimoreLeaders

The celebration continues today! Join us today for the #BromoArtWalk from 5 pm - 9 pm for an evening of dance, music, and interactive art. See you soon! - #MRIPrograms #MRIStudios #GrandOpening #BromoArtsDistrict #DowntownBaltimore #BaltimoreArts
