AFTER PARTY: Friday, April 19 | 10 pm to 1 am

Maryland Art Place (MAP) is excited to announce Out of Order (OOO), MAP’s Annual Spring Benefit Exhibition & Silent Auction, on Friday, April 19, 2024, at 6 o'clock in the evening. This year marks the 27th 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. MAP will host an art making workshop the day on install so participating artists can come to hang and stay to create! All craft materials will be provided!

This year’s theme for OOO is Untitled & Uncensored in honor of all the artwork that goes nameless. Artwork Does not need to be untitled to be entered - but it is encouraged. Attendees of the event can expect light fare, open bar, entertainment by DJ Aran Keating of Ridiculous Entertainment, ‘drag queens in theme’ and more. And let’s not forget KIDOOO, our free Out Of Order for children ages 5-16.

Come dressed to impress and join the celebration in support of local & regional artists. Tickets are $40 presale and $45 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 3rd 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. Arrow Parking will be providing free parking for OOO guests at the Arrow Lot across the street from Maryland Art Place on Saratoga Street. To purchase tickets visit: OutofOrder2024.givesmart.com
