About Our Auction

With this fundraiser we are looking to raise money to help cover the costs of future programming as well as to partially recoup the costs of the renovation of the gallery space.

The artists in this fundraiser represent past, present, and future collaborators. Please email us at resortbaltimore@gmail.com if you would like more information about these artists or to see larger images of the work.

We have a 5 year lease on 235 Park Ave. and hope to find the resources to provide continuous free programming during the course of our tenure here. Over the past year we have independently funded the partial renovation of the building. This has included a major electrical upgrade to install lighting, heating, outlets, and exit signs to the first floor.

We currently have exhibitions planned up through January 2019. Our smaller, window box project space will continue to be host to solo installations and experimental works, by invitation and through a call for proposals that we’ve added to our website. Along with our exhibition program, we’re developing a schedule of shorter events and collaborations between local artists, makers, and curators.

20% of Resort's portion of the proceeds from this auction will benefit Baltimore Youth Arts, a neighboring non-profit program.

Baltimore Youth Arts is an artist-run, arts entrepreneurship and job readiness program for youth, ages 14-22, with a focus on those who have contact with the justice system. BYA believes the arts are a path towards personal liberation and self sufficiency and that they not only impact youth facing incarceration, but also the justice system and perceptions held by the greater community.

Their mission is to assist youth in gaining creative, personal, and educational skills that will enable them to become leaders in their communities. BYA uses the arts to engage youth with the goal of building long-lasting, mentoring relationships. We provide artistic, entrepreneurial, and leadership opportunities to youth so that they can hone their talents and use them to shape the world. We believe that the arts are a path towards social, emotional, and educational development.
