About Courting Art Baltimore
Courting Art is a program that promotes youth artwork, connects the legal community with local communities of
Baltimore City, and aims to reduce stress and anxiety for litigants and visitors by beautifying local courthouses.
Originally hosted by the District Court of Maryland and in partnership with the Baltimore Bar Foundation,
Incorporated and the Bar Association of Baltimore City, the contest is open to all Baltimore City public high
school students. Courting Art Baltimore also collaborates with Baltimore City Public Schools, Arts Every Day,
and the College Bound Foundation to achieve success each year since its first contest in 2016. Courting Art
Baltimore also connects Baltimore City students with a local community college and provides scholarships to
the winning artists to pursue higher education after high school.
