Blue Light Junction is an alternative color lab, natural dye garden & educational facility focusing on growing, processing and preserving the history of natural dyes and their enhancements and use in everyday objects. 

Located at 209 McAllister Street in Central Baltimore’s Greenmount West neighborhood and working in Hidden Harvest “annex” Farm, Blue Light Junction is an independently run studio that draws from the education, experiences and relationships of the Baltimore Natural Dye Initiative.  The Baltimore Natural Dye Initiative is an 18-month multi-agency project that aims to explore the cultural and economic impacts of growing and using natural dyes in our region. The project brings together a diverse network of collaborators, including MICA, funding partners and is supported by the Maryland Department of Commerce and the Maryland State Arts Council.
