Hello everyone!

If you're in the Baltimore, Maryland region, July 22-23 the Walters Art Museum and Baltimore Heritage are hosting a GLAM-WIKI series of events that will bring together Wikimedians involved in GLAM-WIKI and representatives from GLAMs throughout the Baltimore region to meet, talk, explore partnership options and ideas. This is a great chance to learn more about the efforts Wikimedia is making to further relationships between galleries, libraries, archives and museums.

The weekend starts with the Wikipedia & Cultural Heritage at the Young Preservationists Happy Hour event on Friday, July 22 at 6:30pm, at the Midtown Yacht Club, an unpretentious neighborhood bar with affordable beer on tap and a solid bar menu.

On Saturday, July 23, the Walters Art Museum is hosting us from 10:00am-12:30pm for a meetup & discussion of GLAM-Wiki initiatives. (as a precursor for doing Wikipedia Takes Baltimore event in the Fall and other outreach events + meetups in Baltimore).

Please spread the word with your colleagues and we look forward to seeing you in the Charm City!
