Complete the Day: Baltimore City Hall
Complete the Day is an art exhibition and ongoing archive happening in Baltimore City Hall. It is a public, participatory memorial honoring unfinished lives cut short by gun violence. Through crowd-sourced messages written on fabric Post-it notes, the installation gathers personal reflections from victims’ families, friends, and community members. Each note is a tribute—an imagined continuation of an ordinary day left incomplete. Visitors are invited to contribute their own responses, create silk Post-its onsite, and reflect on the enduring impact of gun violence.

Rooted in loss and love, Complete the Day transforms City Hall into a space of shared memory and healing. The exhibition connects Baltimore’s communities to a national archive of remembrance, one note at a time—restoring the everyday moments stolen by gun violence.
