Sponsored by Maryland Citizens for the Arts, Curate Maryland
is a new series of "on-the-ground" experiences designed to highlight
and promote the arts in cities and towns from across the state of
Maryland.
Each Curate Maryland event
will spotlight a selection of one town's local arts organizations
while fostering dialogue about issues that concern arts advocates at
all levels of governance. The series is a site-specific celebration,
one city or town at a time, for art lovers from around the state.
The first Curate Maryland
event is May 18 in Hagerstown, and features visits to The Washington
County Arts Council, The Maryland Theatre, Maryland Symphony Orchestra,
Washington County Museum of Fine Arts, with performances, tours,
refreshments and workshop discussions throughout.
The event is free
with RSVP to Brian Francoise at 410.467.6700 or at brian@mdarts.org.
