Baltimore's annual showcase of the visual and performing arts keeps piling on new features. If it expands much more, it'll be poised to swallow the entire city and we'll have to move it to somewhere more spacious, like Montana. Here are some of the festival's newest offerings.
Getting there: This year, you can ride on over to the bike parking zone at Maryland Avenue between Oliver Street and Mount Royal Avenue to receive a free goody bag. A shuttle service that had been planned for this year has been postponed until 2010.
ArtEscape VIP lounge: Purchase an Artscape VIP credential for only $25 per day to score some shade, snacks, a view of the goings-on below and even a 10-minute massage to prepare you for the next exciting activity. The VIP lounge is on the top floor of the Meyerhoff Garage at 1311 Cathedral St.
Acrobatics and dance: Step in and cool off in the Lyric Opera House, 140 West Mount Royal Ave., on Friday, Saturday or Sunday and experience inspiring performances by some top international dance and acrobatics companies. Companies scheduled to perform include Dayton Contemporary Dance Company, Acrobats of China, Baltimore Ballet Company, Sankofa Dance Theater, Raw Sound Tap Company and Fuira Flamenco.
Sew Me What You Got Competition: Five finalists who created designs using Ikea fabric will present their collections on the Artscape runway Sunday at 6 p.m. for a $1,000 grand prize.
Concert opera and organ concerts: Corpus Christi Church, 110 W. Lafayette St., hosts Baltimore Concert Opera, Opera Vivente and American Opera Theater on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Pieces performed include "The Life and Music of Maria Callas," "I Hear America Singing" and "A Pilgram's Solace" by John Dowland.
Shorts at The Charles Theatre: The Maryland Film Festival brings back the popular shorts in a tent program, but moves it to the more appropriate Charles Theatre, 1711 North Charles St. During the festival, one of the Charles' five screens will be dedicated to shorts, ranging from three minutes to 20 minutes long.
Nevermore 2009: Artscape's theater showcase at the Theatre Project, 45 W. Preston St., offers a variety of Poe-inspired plays Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Offerings include everything from supernatural clowns to improv for a family-friendly experience.

Yes once again artcar artists will be manipulated to drive down to artscape, bake in a shadeless setting, endure wear and tear on their vehicles and draw crowds so that vendors can make a profit without getting a cent of the $800.000 budget or any contribution from the vendor community which grows larger each year and brings in substantial funds through sales. All the funding for artcars goes to an out of state curator and his cars and cars from his artcar rent an artcar agency. One of the things about artscape that needs changing-Conrad Bladey , Cartist who is cutting his appearance down from four days to one and number of cars from four to one.-
