Out of Order Online
Out of Order Call: Friday, June 19 – Monday, July 6
Out of Order Virtual Auction: Thursday, July 16 -Thursday, July 23rd
As a result of the pandemic sweeping our nation, Maryland Art Place (MAP), like so many, has been forced to rethink, retool and re-imagine its programming. This year marks the 23rd year of Maryland Art Place’s (MAP’s) signature exhibition event “Out of Order” (OOO). MAP is very excited to announce that it will still be holding Out of Order, only this year it’s virtual! MAP will launch the auction and make it available to anyone on an electronic device for free!
As one of Baltimore’s longest standing consecutive contemporary exhibitions, Out of Order has successfully continued to stay relevant and fun. Last year (2019) 289 artists participated in OOO and MAP sold 133 works of art. MAP aims to exceed these figures this year due to the event’s virtual reach, and also because this year OOO is open for bidding for an entire week as opposed to one evening. Bidders can expect text messages when they have been outbid and may bid from their homes, offices, vacations while perusing hundreds of works of art from the many talented artists throughout the state and region.
The OOO Online auction opens Thursday, July 16, running one full week through Thursday July 23rd, 2020. The event link will be announced as “Live” on Thursday July 23rd via MAP’s website and various social media outlets and newsletters. All bids must be submitted no later than 10pm on July 23rd. The virtual exhibition can be viewed on July, 16 @ ooo.givesmart.com
