Save the Date!
The Banjo Gathering will be in Baltimore, Maryland from Thursday, November 3 to Sunday, November 6, 2022.
The 2022 Banjo Gathering in Baltimore, Maryland will be at the historic Peale Museum (more details on accommodations and registration soon).
We have chosen Baltimore for its location as the birthplace of industrial banjo manufacture and because of Maryland's early banjo history.
We will gather for three days of presentations, exhibitions, and a banjo marketplace for studying, buying, selling, and trading historical and vintage banjos, parts, and related items, as well as banjos from some of today’s finest instrument makers.
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.

Presentations & Panels
We are pleased to announce that will have programming on Thursday, November 3; Friday, November 4; and Saturday, November 5, 2022.
We invite proposals for presentations and panels that can be: live and in person; pre-recorded with live Q&A; and pre-recorded with no Q&A (which will be available for viewing online only). In person presentations will be given preference over remote presentations, however we realize that not everyone will be traveling in the fall of this year and all content (live and recorded) will be available for viewing online.
Proposals should explore the cultural history of the banjo, physical and design aspects of the banjo, playing techniques and styles, banjo building and set-up, banjo-related ephemera, banjo collecting, banjo players, and/or anything banjo-related! Taking into account Baltimore's role in early banjo manufacture and the early presence of banjos in the Chesapeake region, we are especially interested in presentations that explore the legacy of enslavement on the banjo's history, banjo manufacturing, and Baltimore's history with the banjo.
Please SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSAL BY FRIDAY, JULY 1, 2022 by filling out this form. Presentations will be limited to 45 minutes (e.g., 30 minute presentation with 15 minutes Q&A). Please direct questions to Kristina Gaddy at kristinagaddy@gmail.com. If you would like to submit a proposal but believe that you may have technical restraints, please mention this in the comments section below or email Kristina.
We will select presentations by the first week in August.
