Maryland Art Place (MAP) eagerly anticipates the return of its Annual Spring Benefit Exhibition & Silent Auction, Out of Order (OOO) on Friday, April 22, 2022, at 6’oclock in the evening. This year Out of Order turns 25!! The auction will be both a virtual and physical exhibition and will be held in the MAP building located at 218 West Saratoga Street, just within the Bromo Arts District. Out of Order (OOO) is a highly celebrated exhibition-event, and a ‘one-night-only’ opportunity for patrons and collectors to acquire contemporary art at unbelievably low silent auction prices. All bidding will be virtual so make sure to register in advance and bring your device! Pre-registration is strongly encouraged.
* We will have staff members on-site who will help with the bidding process if needed. Ipads will also be available and a charging station will be set up for your convenience.
This year’s theme for OOO is Alice in WOOOnderland! Jump down the rabbit hole and join the celebration in support of local & regional artists. Tickets are $40 presale and $45 at the door. Tickets include light tastings and an open bar. All tickets also include free entry to KIDOOO, MAP's accompanying youth-driven OOO exhibition to be held on the 2nd floor of the MAP building the very same evening, and the basement after-party. Parents/guardians of KIDOOO may attend at a discounted price of $25 presale and $30 at the door. Arrow Parking will be providing free parking for OOO guests at the Arrow Lot across the street from Maryland Art Place on Saratoga Street. Tickets are available for purchase HERE.

Blue Dog BBQ will be catering the event!. Beverages include donations from Union Craft Brewing, wine, and a signature Alice in Wonderland-themed cocktail provided by Dooby’s! Drag Queens Jesus Vice 007 & Ervena Chloe will be passing out temporary tattoos and lollipops. While DJMikieLove hypes the madness and passes the vibe check. Then fall down the rabbit hole and find us in the basement where DJ Kotic Couture and Bedlam Brass will be performing. They slap! Document your evening and snap a photo with Pixilated photo booth with a backdrop courtesy of Baltimore-based artist, Laura Amussen.
MAP is happy to continue KIDOOO, a youth version of Out of Order. KIDOOO was created as an opportunity for young artists to exhibit their work in a major arts venue, extending MAP's services to students in elementary, middle, and high school level art classes.

About Out of Order:
By covering the walls from floor to ceiling, Out of Order provides a salon-style display space for hundreds of artists to hang their work wherever they please. OOO plays host to a variety of artists and professionals practicing in the visual arts and is a great opportunity for students and emerging artists to get their feet wet in Baltimore’s creative sector.
MAP is proud to be partnering with the Art Connection in the Capital Region (ACCR) again this year—a nonprofit that works to enrich lives by increasing access to original visual art in nonprofits throughout Baltimore/DC. Donated artwork is permanently exhibited within the public areas of partnering organizations and becomes part of a public collection. The artwork contributes to the creation of vibrant spaces, encourages dialogue, and fosters well-being amongst clients and staff on a daily basis. Check out some of the 100+ nonprofits ACCR has partnered with: artconnection-cr.org
