Five Minute Histories: Baltimore's Painted Screens

Halfway through the week and we have a new “Five Minutes Histories" episode for you on Baltimore’s painted screens.
This is our series called "Five Minute Histories." Each day, we’ll record a short video about a different historic place in Baltimore and post it on our Facebook page and website. We are honoring Governor Hogan’s request and are doing this from home.

The painted screen exhibit was the most memorable part of Baltimore’s Visionary Art Museum, and I’m frequently telling folks about it. Thanks for making this video!

I am just learning about these painted screens and some history about them. Your video is very informative, thank you for taking the time to do this. Keep well & have a great day.

Dee Hargert painted my screens in edgewater, md for my house. A young couple was walking down the street and pointed to my screens and said you must be from Baltimore. I said yes. A small world 😊
