The art show, held at the Baltimore Convention Center from February 4th through February 6th, showcased visual and performing arts, poetry readings, book reviews as well as health, wealth and empowerment seminars.

We couldn't pass the display of Lola's Brown Babies at the art show, without stopping. Lola Brown had a display of her hand-made dolls. Mrs. Brown has been making dolls for ten years. It was difficult deciding on a favorite. A website for Lola's Brown Babies will be online in the near future.
