To call it one of Baltimore’s most eccentric events is – perhaps – an understatement.
…which is exactly why The Walters’ sculpture court was jammed with folks, there to check out the fascinating creations of alternative taxidermy artists.The show – put on by The Walters Art Museum and Bazaar, a Hampden store specializing in “natural history items, home decor, jewelry and unique and morbid gifts” – offered folks the opportunity to get up close and personal……with a number of pieces that ranged from traditional taxidermy from The Walters’ collection……to not-so-usual taxidermy, presented by current artists.Pictured (LtoR) Rachel Poisall, Imre senior account executive; Kristen Garcia, graphic designer/bird taxidermist; and Katie Wofford, Howard County Arts Council grants & special projects coordinatorPictured (LtoR) Marilyn Kiely, Johns Hopkins Hospital administrator; Rodney Cobb, technical support specialist; and Andrew Dixon, security engineerPictured (LtoR) Chelsea S.
