As our region’s premier comprehensive arts center, Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts provides a broad range of arts-related programming for people of all ages, backgrounds and socio-economic levels. Each day we carry out our vision to be the area’s leading center for lifelong participation in the arts.

Founded in 1979, Maryland Hall’s mission is to inspire, nurture and engage interest in the arts by offering superior arts education, diverse cultural programs and stimulating artistic experiences in all arts disciplines.

In an era when funding for the arts is dwindling and information overload threatens to stifle creativity, Maryland Hall offers opportunities for nurturing and cultivating the creative spirits in people of all ages. Offering opportunities for exploration, examination and appreciation, Maryland Hall’s goal is to enrich the lives of those in our community through art.

Each year at Maryland Hall:

• More than 5,000 individuals take part in our arts education classes;
  

• Our performing arts program brings a diverse array of performers—from rock, folk and pop stars to musical theatre productions and dance troupes—to our stage;

• Our four resident companies—Annapolis Chorale, Annapolis Opera, Annapolis Symphony Orchestra and the Ballet Theatre of Maryland—bring high-quality performances and educational opportunities to our community;

• Our visual arts program attracts noteworthy local and regional artists who want to exhibit their work in our galleries and in our outdoor sculpture program;

• The Peabody Preparatory of Baltimore provides high-quality music instruction to our community;

• Maryland Hall’s Artist-in-Residence program enables local artists to create and provide community programs under the auspices of Maryland Hall.

Maryland Hall also offers an place for meditation to the community. Completed in 2002 with generous funding from the TKF Foundation, Maryland Hall's labyrinth is a replica of the one at the Cathedral of the Chartres in Paris, France. It is open to the public for public use year-round and is approximately one-half mile in length and has a diameter of just over 42 feet. Click here for more information.

Maryland Hall is a vital community arts center that provides opportunities for more than 100,000 residents in our community to explore and enjoy the arts.
