Art meets baseball in this annual event at Harry Grove Stadium, scheduled for Friday, August 17th, 2012. The Frederick Arts Council partners with the Frederick Keys to have a night where the arts will be celebrated and highlighted through performances, a plein air art event, and other art activities during the game. This partnership allows the over 4,000 attendees to be exposed to the Arts Community in Frederick County.

Highlights for this year include:

  Performances

  First pitch by a special guest. 

  Jersey Auction, featuring a jersey designed by a local artist.  After the game, the players will autograph the shirts and they will be auctioned off to the highest bidder with the proceeds benefiting the Frederick Arts Council.

  Stitch “N Pitch gathering, which encourages local knitters, embroiders, and others to engage in stitching activities while enjoying the game. 

  Interactive art activity led by Frederick artist Vince Coates

  Plein Air artists will be on hand painting scenes from the game, including Walt Bartman, and others.  Their work may be on display and available for purchase upon completion.   

  Exhibits by local arts organizations and other activities

  And of course, Fireworks!
