Events
at The Arc of Baltimore come large and small with something
for everyone – golfers, members of the community,
artists, parents of children with disabilities, campers,
etc. Some are for fun and some are for learning and gathering
resources for individuals with developmental disabilities.
See what The Arc has to offer.
The
Arc’s Celebrity Golf Tournament
The 2009 tournament, our 15th annual, was held on Tuesday, May 19th and was once again sponsored by Scientific Plant Service and a host of other corporate partners. The tournament was held on two golf courses, Woodlands and Diamond Ridge Golf Courses, in Windsor Mill, Maryland.
The annual event now raises close to $90,000 due to the generosity of our sponsors and the golfers who take advantage of a great assortment of silent auction items, including trips, beach getaways, sports memorabilia,and tempting personal services at day spas and luxurious hotels.
For additional information contact Libby Bryant at (410) 296-2272, ext. 5209 or by e-mail at lbryant@arcofbaltimore.org

Art
in the Round
The talent and artistry of individuals with developmental
disabilities is showcased every year at The Arc’s Art
in the Round Exhibit and Auction. A selection committee reviews
approximately 100 pieces submitted each year for a final group
of 60 pieces to exhibit at the American Visionary Arts Museum.
A veritable feast of hors d’oeuvres along with a wine tasting
are enjoyed during the exhibit and auction and lead up to
the final and furious bidding for the art. Artists look on
with pride as their work fetches profits for their pockets and
artaficionados grin over the unique piece acquired for a
modest sum.
The 8th Annual Art in the Round will be held
on November 6, 2009 at the American Visionary Art Museum. This year’s event will feature some additional highlights as part of our 60th anniversary year celebration.
