Groundhog Day at the Historic Senator Theatre

It is only fitting that on Monday, February 2, 2026, Baltimore residents can celebrate Groundhog Day with a special screening of the 1993 classic film starring Bill Murray. The historic Senator Theatre is hosting a 4:00 PM showing on the big screen, offering a perfect afternoon escape into the time-looping antics of Punxsutawney Phil and Phil Connors. The theater, located on York Road, continues its tradition of bringing beloved revivals to the North Baltimore community, providing a nostalgic cinematic experience in one of the city's most iconic Art Deco venues.

Celebrating 200 Years of MICA: New Exhibitions Open

Art enthusiasts have a significant reason to visit the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) today as the institution launches major exhibitions in honor of its Bicentennial. Two distinct shows are opening to the public this Monday, marking a two-century legacy of creativity in Baltimore.

• Rooted/Growing at Decker Gallery: Located in the Fox Building on West Mount Royal Avenue, this exhibition explores the intertwined histories of MICA and the city. Featuring works from diverse artists including Joyce J. Scott and Devin Allen, the gallery is open today from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Admission is free, though visitors are reminded that weekday access is typically open to the general public.
• Ouroboros at Meyerhoff Gallery: Also premiering today, this exhibition features eleven artists working across printmaking, textiles, and performance. It serves as a moment of reflection on the institution's pedagogical legacy and its deep connections to Baltimore's grassroots culture. The gallery is open throughout the day for those looking to be among the first to view this milestone collection.

Fine Art on Film at The Charles Theatre

The Charles Theatre, Baltimore’s premier art house, is featuring "The Impressionists and the Man Who Made Them" today. This film offers a detailed look into the life of Paul Durand-Ruel, the visionary art dealer who supported the Impressionists when the rest of the world ignored them. It is an excellent choice for those interested in art history and the stories behind the world’s most famous paintings. Check local listings for specific afternoon and evening showtimes at the North Charles Street location.

Ongoing Immersive Experiences

For those seeking something more interactive, "The Jury Experience" continues its run at the Meyerhoff Auditorium. This unique piece of immersive theater invites audience members to step into the courtroom and decide the course of justice in a morally complex case. It remains one of the city's most talked-about community theater events this winter, challenging participants to confront their own preconceptions through dramatic performance.
