Out of Order at Maryland Art Place: Call for Artists and Volunteers

Call For Artists
For one day only, Tuesday, March 29, 7am – Midnight, the gallery is open for a do-it-yourself installation on a first-come, first-serve basis. Any artist is invited to participate by installing one piece for a small fee of $10. During the event, all artwork installed will be made available for sale in our highly anticipated silent auction. Proceeds from the sale of the work will be split 50/50 with the artist. Each participating artist will receive one free ticket to the event on Friday, April 1.

Installation Guidelines:
Only one original piece of artwork can be submitted per artist. Artist must be present to hang their own work. (Or, give permission to a friend who can fill out the artist loan agreement completely)
All 2-D and 3-D artwork is welcome, as well as jewelry, ceramics, media, etc., with maximum dimensions of 30" x 30" x 30".
Work must be ready to hang (i.e. hangers and wire securely attached). MAP will provide all necessary hardware for installation, however, the artist is responsible for hanging their own work. Please note, a limited number of pedestals and electrical outlets are available and cannot be reserved ahead of time.
All work must be available for sale and should be reasonably priced.
MAP reserves the right to refuse to exhibit work deemed inappropriate.

Call For Volunteers
MAP is looking for volunteers to assist in running the gallery in three-hour shifts throughout the 7am - Midnight installation period on Tuesday, March 29. Volunteers are responsible for helping artists complete their loan agreements, assisting with installation, answering phones, and general administrative assistance.

In exchange for your services, we provide: complimentary parking during your shift, free admittance to the party on Friday, April 1, food and drinks, along with the opportunity to mingle with artists and other great volunteers!

We also need volunteers to help with the party on Friday, also in three-hour shifts, beginning at 5pm until 1am. Volunteers are asked to assist with signing guests in and selling tickets, bartending, closing the silent auction, wrapping artwork, and providing general assistance to make the evening run smoothly. We ask those volunteers with bartending experience to notify us particularly of those skills (and you can keep your tips!). After your shift ends, we invite you to relax and join us in an entertaining evening filled with great art, music, food, and an open wine and beer bar!

If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up ASAP (by March 25th) by contacting Emily at emily@mdartplace.org or by calling 410.962.8565. Please also make plans to attend a Volunteer Orientation session on Saturday, March 26th at 2:00pm. Further details will be provided upon registration.
