Best Art Gallery
Maryland Art Place

YES, WE'RE TECHNICALLY CHEATING here, since MAP is a nonprofit art center and not a gallery proper in the sense of cultivating relationships with a stable of both clients and artists. But in a city with so few traditional art galleries, we try to spread the love around. Its efforts in both exhibitions and arts-related events and programming--from its annual critics residency and curators' incubators programs to steady lineup of gallery talks--and continued interests in regional artists at different stages of their careers make MAP a key space in the local arts mix, even though its groups shows are often hit and miss.
