FOR 33 YEARS MARYLAND ART PLACE (MAP) HAS CONTINUED TO BE A CRITICAL
RESOURCE FOR THE CONTEMPORARY ART COMMUNITY, SERVING ARTIST AND PATRON
ALIKE. WE ARE PROUD OF OUR RICH HISTORY; WHICH IN 2013 COMBINED A DIVERSE

In January, we produced Thousand Little Brothers, a solo
exhibition by Hasan Elahi exploring privacy and surveillance;
We celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Curators’
Incubator exhibition program with Jeremy Stern and his
exhibit, Oasis Places; We continued the annual exhibition,
Young Blood, our recent Masters of Fine Arts graduate show;
and in the Fall, we teamed up with Kristen Hileman, Curator
of Contemporary Art and Department Head at the Baltimore
Museum of Art, on our Regional Juried Exhibition surveying
artists from Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania.
+MAP hosted three benefits in 2013!
Starlight Dinner event, projections by Brandon Morse, image credit: Justin Tsucalas
In April MAP continued its annual free-hung spring benefit exhibition, Out of Order. In
November MAP produced a Starlight Dinner, which was taken off-site to the Thames Street
Wharf building. The dinner highlighted 16 Art Stars whose work centered on innovation and
technology in contemporary art. Lastly, in December MAP launched a new affordable art sale,
UNDER $500. This two-day sale featured both invited and juried artists, with works sold at a
price-point of $500 or less. All three events directly benefited MAP’s programs, exhibitions
and ongoing initiatives which are offered ‘free and open to the public’.
+In
2013 we also welcomed new
members to the MAP team!
Paul Shortt - MAP’s new Registry Coordinator and Program Assistant. Paul recently moved to
Baltimore from the Midwest and is a graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
with an MFA in New Media Art.
New Board Trustees include Todd Harvey (Mission Media), Morgan Gilligan (Stewart Title,)
Peter Kilpe (CyberPoint International), and Whit MacCuaig, MAP’s new Board Treasurer,
(Chesapeake Real Estate Group)
New Program Advisory Committee Members – Amy Boone-McCreesh, Jan Razauskas,
Stewart Watson, and Ada Pinkston who served as our student seat.

OUT OF ORDER
In 2014 we will embark on our 33rd year in a new, but familiar space - 218 West Saratoga
Street. This beautiful 20,000 square foot building, located on the west side of Baltimore
city, will once again act as home base for all MAP operations moving forward. The Saratoga
Street building is also within the newly established Bromo Tower Arts and Entertainment
District, which plays host to some wonderful cultural venues.
In our new space, in a new year, and in a new neighborhood, we remain committed
to: supporting emerging/mid-career artists in the most professional and dynamic way
possible; creating opportunities for Baltimore/Maryland regional artists; promoting the
sale of original works of art; and bringing contemporary art experiences into the public
realm. We are pleased to share some of our 2014 program highlights with you.

Exhibition & Young
Blood Revisited
The next installment of MAP’s Speakers’ Series,
Young Blood Revisited, will bring back past
participants of the annual summer Masters of
Fine Art (MFA) exhibition, Young Blood. This
exhibition has continually served as a launching
pad for many of its participants over the past
six years. Through Young Blood Revisited MAP
will ask a handful of artists from each year to
speak about their life and practice post MFA.
Young Blood, the exhibition, will continue
during the summer of 2014, surveying notable
MFA work.

+Embarking on 2014
As we embark on 2014, we would like to thank all of the artists, contributors, volunteers
and patrons who made 2013 a successful year. We are especially grateful to Suzi and
David Cordish for their on-going support over the past two decades. We look forward
to another productive year and are energized by our move to the west side. In 2014
we intend to present progressive programs, dynamic exhibitions and offer compelling
opportunities for artists in our state and region.
See you at MAP!
