About Annapolis Arts Week

  • Annapolis Arts Week is a week-long, city-wide celebration of the arts, and part of Anne Arundel Arts Month this June. Created by artists and inspired by the community, this grassroots initiative includes eight days of exhibits, performances, workshops, and pop-ups woven throughout the great city of Annapolis. From world-class galleries to unexpected murals tucked into historic streets, Arts Week is your invitation to experience everything that makes Annapolis one of the Mid-Atlantic’s most vibrant creative communities.
