The Artists’ Market is a juried exhibition highlighting artists who create and execute original, professional quality work. Festival-goers were invited to view and purchase art from more than 100 vendors, selected from nearly 400 applicants.
This year’s Baltimore Theatre Community Annual Auditions are back, and we hope better than ever.
We have selected the dates of Saturday, August 23, and Monday August 25.
Center Stage – The Head Theater 700 N. Calvert Street Baltimore, MD 21202
AEA Members – FREE / Non-Members $10 Auditors – $20 per theater**
Auditions will be held from 10 am-5 pm on Saturday, August 23, and from 6 pm to 9 pm on Monday, August 25, in The Head Theater (4th floor) at Center Stage. On Saturday, there will be a musical accompanist from 12pm-1pm and 2pm-3pm for anyone wishing to sing as part of their audition.
As you know, these auditions have always been an important opportunity for both the theaters and the artists involved. With so many artistic leaders and actors participating, it’s always a wonderful time for new talent to be discovered, and to discover new opportunities.
We are seeking actors of all ages, both non-AEA and AEA, from around the state to audition. And we hope to have over 40 Auditors from local and regional theatres.
You can register online now at http://baltimoreauditions2014.eventbrite.com.
Also, if you would be interested in volunteering to support the auditions, do let us know! There will be a call for help sorting headshots, timing auditions, setting up food, etc.
Please help us promote! We have less turnaround time this year than in the past, so we need your help to get the word out, and make these auditions a huge success. We encourage you to share the event on social media, email it to your members, and help us spread the word!

Sponsored by NICHE magazine, the NICHE Awards program began in 1989 to celebrate excellence and innovation in American and Canadian fine craft. Artists are recognized in both professional and student divisions.
Nearly 2,000 entries are received each year from professional and student craft artists from across the U.S. and Canada. Each year, a prestigious panel of judges is selected by the editors of NICHE magazine, including gallery owners, guild and museum directors, curators, craft industry experts and arts advocates.![PicMonkey-Collage2.png-1024x409[1]](https://www.baltimorearts.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/PicMonkey-Collage2.png-1024x4091.png)
After the judging process is complete, and counts are tallied, the top-scoring pieces—5 in each category—become NICHE finalists. Out of these five, the highest-scoring piece in each category wins the NICHE award.
Winners are announced at a special ceremony held during the American Made Show in January.
Winners will receive an awards certificate, trophy, a listing on the NICHE Awards website and a listing in NICHE magazine.
