A first-of-its kind space for art-making, exhibition and cultural connection—for artists and the community at large.

The Sock Factory

The Sock Factory is an artist-led nonprofit in the Midway neighborhood of East Baltimore that fosters experimentation, practical skill building, and creative community through visual art, craft, and neighborhood development.

Led by artists Derrick Adams, Nicholas Wisniewski, Mickalene Thomas, Michael Sherman, and Marlon Ziello, this anchor for ambitious art-making will host fabrication studios, a robust apprenticeship program, and unlikely encounters between local and international art makers.
