Baltimore is a city of neighborhoods. But at the heart of the city, there’s Bromo. On this eleven block stretch, with the legendary Howard Street at its core, cultural history and a dynamic, boundary-pushing art scene meet in a way that’s particular to Baltimore.
She's baaaaack. Did you know Le Mondo is in an arts district here in Baltimore? Well, now you do - the Bromo Art District! Twice a year Le Mondo hosts an open house for their Bromo Arts Walk. Join us for the last one of 2023!
Visit Le Mondo and all our art buddies on Thursday, August 24, from 5PM - 9PM with an afterparty at the nearby Hippodrome after 9PM.
