What's New at The Arc of Baltimore?
Artists and Art Lovers Make for a Great Event!
This year’s Art in the Round drew more than 250 people to enjoy the creations of artists with developmental disabilities. Guests enjoyed the exhibit along with tempting epicurean delights, cold drinks and a wine tasting. Silent auction bids raised more than $2,500 with 60% going to the artists and the balance supporting purchases of art supplies and classes.
