Look familiar?

That's because this building is the former home of Maryland Art Place,
218 West Saratoga Street.

And MAP is moving back!

MAP's Board of Trustees voted unanimously to move operations to the Westside where MAP will join efforts to create an arts district. MAP headquarters will open on Saratoga Street in January 2011.

Danielle Brown is a recent Studio Art graduate from the University of Maryland, College Park. She is currently working on new paintings while becoming more involved in the arts in Baltimore. Her valuable experience at MAP, where she is learning more about gallery operations, programming and community outreach, will benefit her future art endeavors.

Ryan Hackett takes elements found in both natural and artificial environments and fuses them together in various multimedia scenarios. His work serves as a reflection on our increasing desire for simulated encounters with nature.

As our culture moves further from the natural world we continue to pull certain elements of it along with us. The more we pull these elements along, the more bizarre their manifestation. Nature relaxation CD’s, potted plants, and captive animals provide a few eerily soothing examples of how we attempt to remain connected to nature while further embedding ourselves in urban environments.
