The Civic Pride of the Baltimore Salt Box

Each year, bright yellow salt boxes are distributed throughout the city to help Baltimoreans treat streets and sidewalks in the snow and ice. In December 2020, some boxes received a makeover after local artist Juliet Ames noticed a box with no letters on it. Dozens of other artists have now added creative flair to salt boxes around the city.

This exhibit, on display beginning January 15 on the second floor of the Central Library, showcases a photo collection of salt boxes across the city. You can also browse the collection online at Digital Maryland.
