From the Baltimore Sun

Some time in the next two months, artist Cinder Hypki will install a piece of mosaic with the logo FPCT — for Fell’s Point Corner Theatre — into the sidewalk outside a three-story converted firehouse on South Ann Street.
The marker will represent the newest phase in the company’s life, which began a few weeks ago when it officially purchased the building it has occupied for more than two decades, and into which it has poured more than $500,000 in improvements.
Hypki, the artist, will design and install the work-intensive mosaic at a significantly reduced fee.
“I live four blocks from the theater, and I’m really proud they exist,” she says.
“It gives back a tremendous amount to the community in which it is placed. Consistently over the years, they have worked with really troubled, really hard-to-reach kids and taught them leadership skills and how to present themselves. You cannot put a price on that.”
