Wham City is a collective of artists living in Baltimore, founded in 2004. Wham City also refers to the spaces that the collective has used since its formation. History Dan Deacon first gave the name "Wham City" to a dormitory at SUNY Purchase. In 2004-2005, founding members Dan Deacon, Adam Endres, Connor Kizer, Dina Kelberman, Peter O'Connell, Josh Kelberman, Ben Furgal, and Abra Adduci left SUNY Purchase and moved into the Copycat Building in Baltimore, transferring the name "Wham City" to new location. The first public performance by members of Wham City was a musical revue of Walt Disney's Beauty and the Beast in January 2005. Transition The group was evicted from its residence in May 2007. The members scattered into smaller living groups around Baltimore, and elsewhere in the US. Membership in the collective has always been in flux; it is not strictly defined as those who have lived within the walls of the physical Wham City.
