High 5: DIY venues

Charm City Art Space

Home base to a selection of some of Baltimore's best punk and hardcore music, Charm City Art Space is where a lot of locals get their start.

The space works dually as a music venue and an art gallery. The upstairs is designated for artwork, along with an extensive library of punk zines and other underground literature. Downstairs is where, on most nights, things are happening. Six-foot ceilings and the lack of a stage provide an intimate setting for music that packs an attitude and a message.
