BMA Lexington Market
BMA Lexington Market is a branch of the Baltimore Museum of Art where visitors come to create, share their stories, and participate in public programming. Our completely renovated space builds on the success of our previous stall in the former East Market, giving visitors even more room to experience and create art.
Open every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. You’ll find us in the Upper Market near the Baltimore Room at 112 N. Eutaw Street.
Located inside of America’s oldest market, BMA Lexington Market honors Baltimore’s rich history in partnership with local organizations and creatives. A new theme is selected each season to guide programs and activities. Since the stall’s opening on June 27, 2019, we’ve explored the topics of food and its access and systems, as well as the legacies of our communities, through workshops, performances, artist talks, screenings, and more. We welcome visitors to our new home under the theme of Holding Space.
Admission is always free. Step into our stall, make art, read from and contribute to our non-circulating library, or propose a program of your own.

Open Call: Lead a Public Program
BMA Lexington Market invites self-defined artists in recovery to lead public programming that explores the role of art in healing and personal growth.
This open call for proposals seeks artists of all disciplines who wish to share their stories, practices, and creative tools in talks and workshops focused on how creative practice supported their recovery journey and how art can be a resource for resilience, reflection, and connection.
Talks and workshops should explore empowerment, creativity, and lived experience. We ask presenters to approach the topic honestly and thoughtfully, with sensitivity and care for diverse audiences. Once a proposal is accepted, collaborators will receive an honorarium and materials stipend to create and lead a single two-hour program at the BMA’s branch location in Lexington Market, on the second or fourth Saturday of the month.
Artists interested in leading a workshop should submit their proposal via the form below:
Submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis. Artists who have been selected to lead a workshop will be contacted for scheduling within two weeks of proposal submission.
Please reach out to cware@artbma.org for further questions.
Public Engagement Team’s Commitment
At BMA Lexington Market, we are committed to creating a supportive, respectful, and inclusive space for both presenters and participants. Recovery looks different for everyone, and all paths are valid.
