The No Boundaries Coalition is turning one year old!
The No Boundaries Coalition is celebrating our one year anniversary of working together to build a more unified and empowered Central West Baltimore. Please join us for a celebratory potluck dinner on June 14 6-8pm at the Garden at 1411 Eutaw.
In June of 2010 over 25 neighborhood leaders came together over a lasagna dinner to discuss how the neighborhoods in Central West Baltimore could work together. Out of that discussion community leaders formed the No Boundaries Coalition. The No Boundaries Coalition is a resident-led initiative dedicated to deconstructing boundaries and reconstructing community. The No Boundaries Coalition brings Bolton Hill, Druid Heights, Madison Park, Upton and Sandtown together across race, class, and neighborhood lines to build a more unified and empowered Central West Baltimore. Visit us online at noboundariescoalition.org.
Our Fourth Annual Boundary Block Party was a smashing success. Thank you to every one who participated. Here is a picture of us with the mayor.
Our community gathering was a great success

Mural Dedication and Memorial Ceremony at Fulton and Lorman in Sandtown
For the past year community members have been working on creating a mural of Mr Charlile, a community leader in Sandtown, at Fulton and Lorman Streets. This past January Mr Charlie passed away. We are gathering to dedicate the mural and honor all that Mr Charlie did for his community. The mural was made possible by the Resident Action Committee, the Boundary Block Party, Baltimore Clayworks, Jubilee Arts, Sandtown Habitat and the Baltimore Community Foundation. The tiles on the mural were made by residents at the 2009 Boundary Block Party, an annual event to bring together Sandtown, Upton, Madison Park and Bolton Hill to strengthen and unify this area of Baltimore. The mural was designed by Emma Munger. Thank you to the Freemans for letting us use the side of their house. Special thanks to all the residents who helped plan the mural, make tiles, prime the wall, hold ladders, paint the picture, install tiles, and complete this project, including Mr Charlie.
