Maryland Art Place (MAP) in partnership with Zekes’ Coffee Shop is excited to announce a solo exhibition by Baltimore based artist, Albert Schweitzer.

This association with Grace Hartigan has created a lasting influence on his work. Born in Wisconsin in 1967, Albert now lives in Baltimore,Maryland. He received his BFA degree in painting from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in 1990. He received an MFA in painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art. He studied under Grace Hartigan at the Hoffberger School of Painting, graduating in 1995. Albert exhibits frequently in New York, Baltimore, and Washington, DC. His work is in many private and permanent collections. IG: @schweitzeralbert

Deck the walls by giving the gift of art this holiday season! Maryland Art Place (MAP) is excited to host its 12th annual UNDER $500 and FIRST EVER UNDER $2500 affordable art sale where artwork is sold on a first-come-first-served basis right off our gallery walls! Newly rebranded as UNDER $2500 - this event promotes the purchase of artwork by artists in the Maryland region. Guests can expect to mingle with other artists, collectors, patrons, and general art enthusiasts at the event. Take your purchases home with you the night of the event. Gift wrapping will be available on-site! 

The opening night sale (physical) will take place Friday, November 22 from 6 pm to 10 pm (ticketed) and then again on Saturday, November 23, 2024 from noon - 4pm (free). Saturday is a ‘last chance’ opportunity to snag any artworks that remain on MAP’s walls. Tickets are $30 for opening night and can be purchased at the door or in advance at http://under25002024.givesmart.com.

A message to our patrons: In the last 2 years inflation has been a huge contributing factor to rising artwork sales prices. Simply put, the cost of goods for artists to create their art is far higher than it used to be. The majority of galleries consider the most important contemporary artwork value segments to be under $5,000–$10,000 according to ARTSY (2023.) It is with that in mind that MAP is presenting UNDER $2500 as affordable. We look forward to showcasing a more diverse and broader range of artworks this year at both the UNDER $2500 and UNDER $500 price ranges.

This year’s theme is Black and White! MAP will have holiday trees on display. Enjoy a cheerful atmosphere with an open bar, light fare and some holly jolly tunes.

A virtual sale and exhibition will also take place and will be featured online HERE from Saturday, November 23 at 10 am – BLACK FRIDAY, November 29 at MIDNIGHT. Artwork will NOT be available to view online until November 23 at 10 am. Be sure to register in advance in the interim! Registration is free.

Virtual Buyers Sales & Pick Up: Sold artworks from the virtual auction need to be delivered by the artist to MAP after the sale closes November 29th. MAP is aiming for all sold work to be on site for Buyer pick up by Saturday, December 2nd just in time for the holidays. Buyers will be notified once your purchase is secured and onsite at MAP.
