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. Scroll down to see the art!
Bidding begins at 5pm on Friday, September 24th. Proceeds and donations will benefit Baltimore Heritage, the Garrett-Jacobs Endowment Fund, the Mount Vernon Place Conservancy, and most importantly, the artists.
2) Virtual Auction Opening Event – Friday Sept. 24, 5-6 pm
The Engineers Club of Baltimore will be hosting a virtual reception on Friday, September 24 at 5pm. Guests are invited to join the event for an opportunity to meet and talk with the artists and other guests, and preview the items up for auction. Please note, the site will not be accessible until the event begins.
3) In-Person Artwork Viewing Day – Sunday Oct. 3, 11 am to 3 pm
The artwork will be on display at the Garrett-Jacobs Mansion on Sunday, October 3rd, from 11am-3pm. Bidders are invited to see the artwork in person by registering for a 20-minute session HERE.
