One of the most utilized resources offered to artists, curators, and those who wish to familiarize themselves with working artists in the region is the Maryland State Arts Council Visual Artists’ Registry and Resource Center. This resource, which is housed and maintained by Maryland Art Place, contains the biographical information and images for over 2,500 artists and is made fully accessible through our website. In addition, a regularly updated Resource Bulletin containing hundreds of artists’ opportunities and helpful resource information is also made available through the site.
THE REGISTRY:
* An effective tool for those seeking to reach curators, consultants, and others looking to commission or review contemporary artwork.
* Documents almost 3,200 professional artists, artisans and designers.
* Catalogs artists of diverse media including craft, design, drawing and works on paper, mixed media, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, digital media, new genres, and video.
* Open to the public free of charge, 9 am – 5 pm, Thursday – Saturday, and during special events. Appointments are recommended, but not necessary.
