Information

Visitor Experience

Take a self-guided tour of the main level art gallery & basement cabaret from 11a.m. to 4p.m. Several resident artists will open their studios throughout MAP’s 5-story building. Visitors may view a timeline of the building’s history upon arrival along with some corresponding ephemera. Handouts about MAP, a premier exhibition space for over 40 years, will be offered along with light refreshments. MAP will be between exhibitions, so visitors should expect a more behind-the-scenes version of our 2,000 sf + gallery space.

Limited Hours: 11 AM – 4 PM

About

Once home to Johnson Brothers Radio Producers & Retailers and, for a time, an underwear manufacturing facility, this 5-story building is now home to Maryland Art Place Inc. (MAP). MAP purchased and renovated the building in 1991 with the goal of filling the contemporary art gallery niche in Baltimore. According to MAP legend, Laurenz C. Luthardt, a well-known 1890’s confectioner, died in the building. People say that sometimes the elevator takes them to the basement whether or not they want to go there! Learn for yourself if Mr. Luthardt haunts the building while enjoying contemporary art in the building-wide open house.
