Kirk Shannon-Butts, Curation and Public Art Manager of the Baltimore Office of Promotion and Arts.

Kirk Shannon-Butts is the Curation and Public Art Manager of the Baltimore Office of Promotion and Arts. A fixture of Baltimore’s arts scene, if you’re at a trendy art opening for one of Charm City’s next big artists, chances are Kirk is the curator.

To some he’s a friend and colleague, but to many in Baltimore, he’s the mentor that pushes them to be their best selves, keep honing their craft and tell their story with authenticity.
