Yes, you’re invited.

Celebrate with Jacob and me and the Baltimore Museum of Art as Charm City honors Doreen Bolger, one of Baltimore’s most dedicated champions of the arts. After 17 brilliant and highly productive years as director of the museum, Dorren is retiring at the end of June.

All of Baltimore is invited to this festive community celebration. On the plaza outside of BMA’s Historic Merrick Entrance, and inside the museum’s Fox Court, the evening will feature performances by the Baltimore Rock Opera Society and Single Carrot Theatre, a preview of the Sondheim Artscape Prize: 2015 Finalists exhibition, a collaborative painting project, a giant card for everyone to sign, DJ, cash bar, food trucks—and more than a few surprises! Admission is free. Donations to support the Doreen Bolger Art Stars Fund are encouraged.

Charm City artists and art lovers have long known that they have a friend and champion in BMA Director, Doreen Bolger. Help show her how much we appreciate her—and her tenure as one of Baltimore’s greatest art cheerleaders—by making a gift in her honor as she retires. Your gift will celebrate Doreen’s legacy of embracing the talent and creativity in our wonderful city.

As a Sr. Writer at T. Rowe Price, I work with a group of the best copywriters around. We belong to the broader creative team within Enterprise Creative, a part of Corporate Marketing Services. _____________________________________________ A long and winding road: My path to T. Rowe Price was more twisted than Fidelity’s green line. With scholarship in hand, I left Kansas at 18 to study theatre in New York. When my soap opera paychecks stopped coming from CBS and started coming from the show’s sponsor, Proctor & Gamble, I discovered the power of advertising and switched careers. Over the years I’ve owned an ad agency in San Francisco; worked for Norman Lear on All in the Family, Good Times, Sanford and Son, and the rest of his hit shows; and as a member of Directors Guild of America, I directed Desi Arnaz in his last television appearance— we remained friends until his death. In 1988 I began freelancing full time didn’t look back. In January 2012 my rep at Boss Group called and said, “I know you don’t want to commute and writing for the financial industry isn’t high on your wish list, but I have a gig with T. Rowe Price in Owings Mills…” I was a contractor for eight months, drank the corporate Kool-Aid, became a TRP associate that August, and today I find myself smiling more often than not.
