The Peale provides an accessible platform for artistic, scientific, and cultural projects where participants can take creative risks, learn, connect with communities in Baltimore and beyond, and share their stories both in the historic Peale Museum building and online. The Peale is Baltimore’s community museum, a center for Baltimore stories, and a cultural commons helping culture keepers and communities share their authentic stories of the city both through live performance and online. It strives to be a mirror—not a lens—reflecting the cultural narrative of now, not curating a limited version of what it means to be a Baltimorean.
