The production delves into the rich pool of talent in the city to weave a tapestry that chronicles the history, singularity, innovation and dynamism of Baltimore’s creative expression across fashion, visual arts and culinary culture. The result is a decadent, immersive experience that appeals to all the senses: To the eyes, via a high-end fashion show and arts exhibit curated by renowned artists; to the nose and tongue through hand-picked and edited menus chosen by respected chefs to showcase the best of Baltimore’s culinary offerings; and to the ear as popular DJs and live performances entertain guests.
Developed and produced by The Finn Group and DChase Presents, headed by executive producers LaRian Finney and Derrick Chase, respectively, the Baltimore MET Gala is now in its fourth year and has established itself as a preeminent artistic platform for telling Baltimore’s story.
