Maryland Art Place (MAP) is excited to announce Out of Order (OOO), MAP’s Annual Spring Benefit Exhibition & Silent Auction, on Friday, April 11, 2025, at 6 o'clock in the evening. This year marks the 28th year of OOO. 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. 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.
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.
This year’s theme for OOO is Barbarella: Queen of the Galaxy, based on the 1968 science fiction film. Artwork Does not need to be on theme to be entered - but it is encouraged. Attendees of the event can expect light fare, open bar, DJ t, ‘drag queens in theme’ and more. And let’s not forget KIDOOO, our signature (free!) kids Out Of Order for children ages 5-16.
Come dressed to impress and join the celebration in support of local & regional artists. Tickets are $45 presale and $50 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 5th floor of the MAP building the very same evening. Parents/guardians of KIDOOO may attend at a discounted price of $25 presale and $30 at the door. To purchase tickets visit THIS LINK
