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.

The
Arc’s Golf Tournament
Thank you to the brave and hearty golfers who showed up on Tuesday, May 18th, (173 of 188 registered) despite a very wet, cold day and helped net more than $80,000 for the work of The Arc of Baltimore. We commend our sponsors, auction and prize contributors and the volunteers who make this possible.

Annual Meeting and Awards Dinner
Celebrating a tradition of volunteer and staff commitment
each year, the 2009 dinner was held on May 6th at Timonium's Crown Plaza (formerly the Holiday Inn Select). WMAR’s Jamie Costello was the evening's master
of ceremonies. With entertainment including selections from Fiddler on the Roof by the Sky’s the Limit and this year’s awardees a large helping of inspiration, The Arc of Baltimore annual meeting had something for everyone this year.
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 9th Annual Art in the Round is scheduled for November 12th and art submissions are now being accepted. The deadline is September 17th. Click here for further information.
The 8th Annual Art in the Round was held
on November 6, 2009 at the American Visionary Art Museum. More than 350 guests gathered for this year’s Art in the Round. Artists beamed with pride before their families and later posed with the winning bidders who purchased their artwork. Pictured at below in slide one is Crystal Wagner after being presented with a congratulatory check for her Sunflower painting that will be used as next year’s event poster and for promotions.
