Robyn Murphy was appointed Friday as the permanent chief executive officer of Baltimore\u2019s arts council after serving in the position in an interim capacity for the past eight months.<\/p>\n

She was formally offered the job leading the Baltimore Office of Promotion & the Arts during the board of directors\u2019 quarterly meeting.<\/p>\n

The appointment was hailed by Mayor Brandon Scott in a news release that arrived almost immediately after the board meeting ended, indicating he is confident the city\u2019s previously contentious relationship with BOPA has been repaired.<\/p>\n

“Robyn is a lifelong Baltimorean, proven leader and convener who has a vision that deeply understands the creativity, energy and talent that define Baltimore,\u201d Scott said in the release. \u201cHer ability to foster innovation, inspire confidence, and build and maintain relationships makes her the right person to fill this important role.”<\/p>\n

Murphy\u2019s appointment as BOPA\u2019s CEO also required her to resign as BOPA\u2019s board chair, a position that will be filled by director Scott Tucker.<\/p>\n

BOPA is a quasi-governmental agency that helps plan city events like Artscape and other public celebrations. It also operates a handful of facilities, from School 33 Art Center to The Cloisters Castle, and is responsible for distributing about $500,000 in state funds annually to artists and performing groups.<\/p>\n

Murphy noted during the board meeting that a one-year contract for BOPA \u2014 which is being rebranded<\/a> as \u201cCreate Baltimore\u201d \u2014 was approved by the Baltimore City Council in late spring \u201cwithout any dissent.\u201d The organization\u2019s annual contribution from the city \u2014 $2.8 million this year<\/a> \u2014 has also been ratified.<\/p>\n

“Robyn Murphy is the right type of leader for this moment,\u201d Derrick Chase, an artist and BOPA board member, said in the release. \u201cShe\u2019s a gifted communicator who listens to creatives and builds the necessary ecosystem to move Baltimore\u2019s art community forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Murphy is BOPA\u2019s fourth CEO in the past three years. Two of her predecessors, Donna Drew Sawyer and Rachel Graham, clashed publicly<\/a> with Scott and were quickly ousted.<\/p>\n

Sawyer was removed in January 2023 after canceling the city\u2019s annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Parade with less than two weeks\u2019 notice. A furious Scott declared the city would mount its own parade in honor of the slain civil rights leader and demanded that BOPA\u2019s board remove her.<\/p>\n

Graham had been in the job just six months when she drew Scott\u2019s ire in September by requesting a $1.8 million emergency bailout<\/a> from the city. She said she had only recently discovered that the cash-strapped organization had been running annual deficits since at least the 2018-19 fiscal year.<\/p>\n

Graham resigned two months later after Scott refused her request and announced plans to defund BOPA. When she left, 10 of BOPA\u2019s 13 board members also quit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Murphy has notably had a smoother tenure, and in the past six months, BOPA has quietly regained many of its former functions.<\/p>\n

Her appointment also likely reflects the city\u2019s success in pulling off a well-received 2025 Artscape, staged less than nine months after the previous one \u2014 an unusually short turnaround time.<\/p>\n

After three years of pandemic shutdowns, the city\u2019s marquee annual celebration returned in 2023, but was hampered by two consecutive years of poor weather<\/a>, forcing the cancellation of key events.<\/p>\n

This year, Artscape was held at a new downtown location over Memorial Day weekend and benefited from beautiful weather<\/a>. Murphy told the board Wednesday that the two-day festival was attended by \u201calmost 200,000\u201d people.<\/p>\n

A handful of other items were also discussed at the board meeting:<\/p>\n

BOPA has begun sharing its pricey office space at 7 St. Paul Place with the Mayor\u2019s Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy. This new city entity, announced in April, has a $2 million budget and is co-led by Linzy Jackson III and Tonya Miller Hall. While sharing the space will help BOPA pay its $16,000 monthly rent, it may also blur the lines between the nonprofit and the city agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cRent here is very expensive,\u201d Murphy said. \u201cNot only has having them here been helpful in that way, but the energy in this office now is strong and fun. I think we\u2019re building a really good working relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Plans to find an outside vendor to run the city\u2019s weekly farmers markets have been scrapped, Murphy said. Instead, BOPA will continue to oversee the events, which have been a staple of city life for nearly half a century.<\/p>\n

Murphy noted that the downtown market, which runs Sunday mornings in the parking lots beneath the Jones Falls Expressway, \u201cis probably the most impactful farmers market in Maryland in terms of being located in a virtual food desert.\u201d She added that it is also the largest food market in the state that accepts SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) vouchers.<\/p>\n

The Top of the World observation level in the World Trade Center will remain open to the public through at least Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

The city has rented the space, which provides panoramic views of Baltimore, for decades. But earlier this year, state officials declined to renew the lease after it expired May 31, saying they needed the space.<\/p>\n

However, the state later signed a short-term lease extension that runs through November.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are uncertain about the future of Top of the World after that,\u201d Murphy said. \u201cMore to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Correction: A previous version of this article incorrectly reported the location of the Top of the World observation level. The Sun regrets the error.<\/em><\/p>\n
