Asia North 2026

The 8th Annual Asia North Exhibition and Festival will offer an array of programming throughout locations in Baltimore’s Station North Arts District, May 1-31. The festival honors the rich history of the Charles North neighborhood, once home to a thriving Koreatown, and celebrates the continued diversity and cultural richness of the area.

In addition to art exhibitions, creative performances and gatherings, walking tours and food tastings, this year’s festival will feature “Shoes at the Door,” guest-curated by Dylan Kaleikaumaka Hill, who is Meyerhoff-Becker Curatorial Fellow at the Baltimore Museum of Art. “Shoes at the Door” shines a spotlight on hospitality and how it is practiced depending on a culture’s diasporic history, tradition, colonial impact and celebration. It will feature sculpture, video, photography, and community-based projects about welcome, displacement and cultural memory.
