Crate and Barrel Does Not Have To Curate Our Art

MAP Speakers Series with Scott Burkholder

Saturday, July 28: 1pm



Maryland Art Place is pleased to present Scott Burkholder as part of  
its 2012 Speakers Series. Mr. Burkholder is most notably known for his  
role as Executive Director of the Baltimore Love Project and his  
advocacy work connecting the technology and enterprise industries with  
Baltimore’s robust artist community.

“My parents have never spent $200 on a single meal, yet my wife and I  
have. I imagine this is true for many of my peers. What changed? Is it  
possible that art could see a similar shift? Does the future hold  
‘arties’?” Scott Burkholder will explore the wine and food industry of  
the past 30 years and suggest how the art market might enlarge and  
intensify its audience.

To accompany the talk, V-NO owner Mark Bachman is thoughtfully  
selecting wines for a special tasting to heighten the experience. The  
wine selection will focus on young and aspiring vintners syncing up  
with Maryland Art Place’s current exhibition, Young Blood, a show  
highlighting recent MFA graduates.

The 2012 Maryland Art Place Speakers Series is a new program  
consisting of a series of lectures given by distinguished critics,  
artists, and historians on topics related to contemporary and modern  
art.

All Speakers Series events are free and open to the public. Space is  
limited, to attend please RSVP to sofia@mdartplace.org.

The Speakers Series is funded by The Robert Lehman Foundation.

  V-NO, situated on the waterfront in Baltimore’s historic Fells  
Point, believes that high priced wine does not always dictate quality  
and not everyone knows wines by region or country – they know wine by  
flavor.

Connecting artists with communities since 1981, Maryland Art Place  
(MAP) is a Baltimore-based nonprofit contemporary art center. MAP  
energizes the region’s cultural environment through dynamic  
exhibitions, interactive events, educational programs and public art  
projects. Information: mdartplace.org | 410 962 8565
