Throughout the pandemic, the Design District neighborhood proved to be as much a cultural hub as a shopping destination. Locals and visitors flocked to the boutique-lined, 18-block area to view public art by Zaha Hadid, John Baldessari, Marc Newson and Buckminster Fuller. Beyond new shops, there are newly commissioned artworks to visit, including a window installation by the Argentine photographer Lucía Fainzilber, and two murals, “Interdimensional Portal,” by the Afro-Brazilian muralist Criola, and “Baltimore’s finest: Mr. GirlYouCrazy and Dev, 2021-2022,” by Amani Lewis.
