It's Art

From the Baltimore Sun:

Someone making a statement that Baltimore is a city that needs but doesn't have a prayer? Or that you shouldn't waste time on earthly beings but try for a direct line to God? Or even commentary on Baltimore as the one-time home of the world's most famous atheist, Madalyn Murray O'Hair?

None of the above, it turns out. I noticed "Prayer Booth" only this weekend, but it's been on its site -- a grassy island just off Cathedral Street, north of the Meyerhoff -- since July, when it went up as part of the Baltimore Sculpture Project. It's one of 30 pieces of public art installed on downtown sites last year as a way of extending the spirit of the Artscape festival beyond its usual summer weekend.
