Join us Thursday, November 3 to Sunday, November 6, 2022,
either in-person or virtually!
The 2022 Banjo Gathering in Baltimore, Maryland will be at the historic Peale Museum. We are holding this year's Gathering in Baltimore in order to recognize the city's role in banjo manufacturing, the early presence of banjos in the Chesapeake region, and how the enduring consequences of enslavement shapes our understanding of banjo history.
The Gathering will consist of three full days of presentations, exhibitions, and a banjo marketplace for studying, buying, selling, and trading historical and vintage banjos, parts, and related items. We'll also have banjos from some of world’s finest instrument makers available to view and buy/trade.
Since 1998, the Banjo Gathering has been the platform for banjo collectors, researchers, instrument builders, and musicians to share new scholarship and findings about the banjo as a historical, cultural, and built object.
The Banjo Gathering strives to provide programs that are accessible to all participants. The Peale, the Peabody Library, the Creative Alliance, and Staybridge Suites are all ADA accessible. If you have questions about the accessibility of this program, or if you would like to request realtime captioning (CART), sign language interpretation, or any other accommodations, please contact thebanjogathering@gmail.com.
Three weeks advance notice is appreciated for requesting accommodations.
