Sign up for a tour of the Ghost Rivers Sites with local artist and designer Bruce Willen!
Explore a new neighborhood-spanning public art installation that rediscovers the path of a buried stream and Baltimore's forgotten histories. Join artist & designer Bruce Willen for a guided walk that follows the hidden course of Sumwalt Run, a stream that vanished from Baltimore’s landscape in the early 1900s. Willen's public art project, Ghost Rivers, is a 1.5 mile-long permanent installation that maps this buried creek across city streets and sidewalks. Through twelve installations, wayfinding markers, and writings Ghost Rivers reveals lost ecologies and hidden infrastructure, while drawing connections between Baltimore’s watershed, its social history, and the evolving relationships between natural and human environments. The artist will discuss the story of Sumwalt Run, Baltimore history, and the past, present, and future of our buried waterways, along with behind-the-scenes insights on how this complex project was realized with the help of the Remington community and many partner organizations. Please wear comfortable walking shoes. If you have accessibility needs, please let us know at the beginning of the walk so that we can plot the best route.
