As part of a significant construction and restoration project in the early 2000s, The France-Merrick Performing Arts Center is made up of three landmark buildings downtown—the Western National Bank, the Eutaw Savings Bank, and the historic Hippodrome Theatre, resulting in an integrated centerpiece for world-class stage performances. Located at the corner of Baltimore and Eutaw streets in west Baltimore, the arts center showcases touring Broadway acts, pop music concerts, arts-related trade shows, and a variety of performing arts productions. Assistive listening systems are available upon request and sign language interpretation is offered at designated performances. The Hipp Cafe also offers audiences light refreshments.
