Taking place at The Garage at R. House on Saturday, April 25, 2026, the AED20 Celebration honors 20 years of Arts Every Day opening doors to creativity, confidence, and opportunity for Baltimore City students. For two decades, we have championed the arts as an essential part of every child’s education, ensuring meaningful and equitable access while nurturing the imagination and voice of tens of thousands of young learners.

This unforgettable evening will bring together Baltimore’s arts and cultural community to celebrate the educators, teaching artists, cultural institutions, and advocates whose partnerships have made this impact possible—now reaching more than 35,000 students each year. Together, we will honor the past, celebrate the present, and recommit to the next 20 years of expanding access to high-quality arts education for every student in Baltimore, with all proceeds supporting programs that transform classrooms, schools, and communities through the power of the arts.

Event Highlights

• Event Chairs: Baltimore’s First Lady Hana Scott and Emily Wei Rales, Founder of Glenstone Museum

• Performances by musician Eze Jackson featuring Rufus Roundtree and Kariz Marcel

• Locally sourced food and drink

• A moving awards program honoring Arts Every Day’s most impactful partners and Baltimore’s leading artists, arts educators, and arts advocates, including award-winning photographer Devin Allen
