Mount Vernon Place Interiors: Art Show and Online Auction
Baltimore’s Mount Vernon Place is famous for the beauty of its exterior architecture. This fall, we invite you to virtually view—and bid on—some of its stateliest indoor spaces at the Mount Vernon Place Interiors Art Show. This mostly online event—an offshoot of the popular 2019 Mount Vernon Place Plein Air Art Show—will feature paintings by 12 artists. Their subjects will include the interiors of the Peabody Institute, the Walters Art Museum, Hotel Revival, and the Garrett-Jacobs Mansion.
View artwork, meet the artists, vote for the Viewer’s Choice Award, and bid on your favorite painting—all from the comfort of your living room—on Friday, September 24, 2021, from 5 to 6 p.m. For those who want to see the art in person before the online auction closes at 8 p.m. on October 3, a viewing will be held at the Garrett-Jacobs Mansion on Sunday, October 3 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Registration will be required for both the virtual opening and in-person viewing. Check our Facebook page for registration announcements. Or, you can email heritage@esb.org, and we’ll notify you when registration begins. The GJMEF is pleased to co-host this event with Baltimore Heritage, the Mount Vernon Place Conservancy, and The Engineers Club. Follow the Facebook page to see some of the artwork in progress, and stay tuned to learn how to participate.
