Maryland Arts Directory Triennial Exhibition
In celebration of the talented and diverse array of artists across the state, the Maryland State Arts Council (MSAC) and Maryland Art Place (MAP) are pleased to present the third Maryland Arts Directory exhibition this month. Held Thursday, May 18 at 6pm, the triennial event will focus on visual artworks, literary works, and performers in the ever-growing Maryland Arts Directory, and will be held in tandem with the Bromo Arts & Entertainment District Spring Art Walk.
Maintained by MAP for more than 25 years, the Maryland Arts Directory originated as a regional resource conceived by MSAC. Curators, collectors, and patrons could physically visit MAP to review new visual artworks using slides. As time went by, slides became outdated and an official online resource was created to make access to artworks much more accessible.
“Come in. We’re Open”
“Hey! It's been a while since we've had an art show so here we are. We've collected some art from a group of local artists for you to check out. We're thinking music, food and something to drink. This show is free but we encourage you to take some time during your visit to purchase a little something. All sales help support the artists and make more events like this possible.
If you haven't been here before, we're on the second floor. A few of us make art here too so you can check that out while you're here!“
