Since late 2015, Milly Vanderwood’s downtown gallery has taken on a couple different names — the Incredible Little Art Gallery, Give & Take: An Artistic Experience — but he thinks the latest will stick. Now called the S.A.N.D. Gallery, the acronym stands for “Sell Art Not Drugs.” The West Baltimore native (whose real name is Mark Clarke) believes a strong arts community can lead to “a more positive, more open-minded outlook” for a city like Baltimore, which has plenty of problems but also full of driven people with talent. In his mind, they just need an outlet.
