Short Bio
Kristen Anchor is a Baltimore media artist, curator, and teacher. In 1990 she graduated from the International Bartending Institute, with honors, tying the school record for accurately mixing the most drinks during final exam.
Currently, Anchor is Director of the Creative Alliance MovieMakers at the Creative Alliance, a grass roots nonprofit venue in Baltimore, which supports local arts and artists, where she develops and produces film/video programs, workshops and screenings. Last summer she curated and toured the film program "Baltimore Because" around the U.S.
Anchor is also a founding member of the Charm City Kitty Club, a group of women who put on quarterly queer cabaret of that name (named Best Queer Event, Balt. City Paper, 2003, 2004 Curve Magazine Lesbian Theatre Award). She is currently completing her film "I’ll Pass," learning rock star drums, curating an outdoor film series, and obsessing over her newest discoveries - blogs and dvd releases of TV shows. She lives in the Museum of Faux Finishes, Baltimore, MD, USA.
