Maryland Artists
In the 1920s, a reporter for National Geographic visited Maryland and dubbed the state "America in Miniature." We're proud of our nickname, and we think it sums us up quite nicely. We have it all – from mountains to seashores – and everything is within about a 3-hour drive of our biggest city, Baltimore.
With art museums aplenty, a world-class symphony orchestra and some of the most impressive mansions on the East Coast, Maryland knows how to do classy. But we don't take ourselves too seriously and we certainly aren't snobs. Case in point: One of our most popular museums, the American Visionary Art Museum, only exhibits art produced by folks who have no formal training (farmers, housewives, doctors, auto mechanics... you get the picture). Whether your interest is in the visual arts, music, theater, architecture or elaborate gardens, Maryland offers something that's sure to please your palate.
Use our Artist Search to find paintings, baskets, jewelry, sculpture, art glass, drawings, photography and MUCH more from our incredibly talented artists in Maryland.
The Walters Art Museum
The Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland is internationally renowned for its collection of art, which was amassed substantially by two men, William and Henry Walters, and eventually bequeathed to the City of Baltimore.
The collection presents an overview of world art from pre-dynastic Egypt to 20th-century Europe, and counts among its many treasures Greek sculpture and Roman sarcophagi; medieval ivories and Old Master paintings; Art Deco jewelry and 19th-century European and American masterpieces.
The museum houses the highest artistic achievements from nearly every corner of the world.
Among its thousands of treasures are masterpieces of Egyptian, Greek and Roman, Islamic, Medieval, Renaissance, and 18th- and 19th-century European and American art, an outstanding group of East Asian bronzes and Asian ceramics, as well as one of the world's finest manuscript and rare book collections.
