Tinges Commons was is collaborative public art space located at the southeast corner of 33rd and Frisby Streets in Waverly, Baltimore, MD. The public space once featured the Tinges Commons Kiosk, a community garden, and temporary sculptures. It was located next to a former artist-run home called "Mirkwood". Together they were called Mirkwood Estates. The garden and sculpture program wound down in 2013 while the kiosk continued to display temporary murals into the 2020s.

JHU President's Day of Service Paves the Way
On October 2, Tinges Commons and Johns Hopkins University students helped pave the diagonal footpath that cuts through Tinges Commons as part of the JHU President's Day of Service. Through numerous community projects, the annual Day of Service, "serves to honor the university’s dedication to being an integrated and responsible part Baltimore City." Five intrepid volunteers met up that afternoon at Tinges Commons, picked up shovels and laid bricks for an entire afternoon. Thanks to Arianne Sevilla and Catherine Eagan for helping to coordinate the event and the JHU Center for Social Concern for buying all the bricks. Extra special thanks to MyShawndria Ward, Rachel Pretlow, Gosha Krakowiak, Pat Geronimo, Tania Chan, Hannah Brancato, Kit Repass and Cheryl Carmona for making the diagonal path a reality!
