Your favorite artists, and artists on the rise, are collaborating with Maryland Hall by proposing new and refreshing art experiences to engage with you. Among these new ways of engagement are four safe ways to enjoy the arts this Summer.

Under Construction Arts and Fidget Arts

Under Construction Arts embodies the spirit of collaboration between you, and local and national artists. The program allows artists to have a space to develop their art forms, interact with the audience, and get feedback on upcoming projects. Curious to see what this looks like? Visit the Maryland Hall website to get a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process of dance with its latest developmental collaboration with Fidget Arts.

Movies on the Lawn

Whether you are looking to watch a movie with the family or have a romantic date night at a live performance, the Maryland Hall parking lot is the place to be. They will be providing a safe and inviting drive-in movie and performance experience for the Annapolis and Anne Arundel communities this Summer.

The Bowen Theater
