March 6, 2009—Baltimore, MD, Maryland Art Place (MAP) is pleased to announce the return of Out of Order, its much-anticipated self-hung benefit exhibition, silent auction and party!

Scheduled for Friday, April 3rd at 8 pm, Out of Order will feature original artwork created by hundreds of area artists that will be made available for purchase through a silent auction. Guests will mingle with some of the region’s most interesting artists, collectors and art enthusiasts while enjoying a selection of fun food, music and an open beer and wine bar. Last year, 425 artists participated in Out of Order and several hundred guests attended, making it one of Baltimore’s most important and memorable art events!

Out of Order has enabled many individuals the opportunity to begin their art collections at affordable prices, finding a broad range of mediums and subject matters represented in the work exhibited. More seasoned collectors find that Out of Order allows them to expand their diverse collections, while enjoying the opportunity to meet participating artists and to lend their support to the arts community. Proceeds from artwork sales will be split 50/50 between MAP and the artists and will directly support MAP’s exhibitions and programs throughout the year.
