About this A&E District
Welcome to the Annapolis Arts District, a unique neighborhood of galleries, professional creatives, arts education, restaurants, hotels and entertainment venues that stretch from Annapolis’ historic Church Circle all the way to the Bates Legacy Center. We have something for everyone including the symphony, ballet, and opera at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts. Museums and galleries include the Banneker-Douglas Museum, Chesapeake Children's Museum, Annapolis Collection Gallery, Gallery 57 West, Kim Hovell Art, and Nancy Hammond Editions.
Check out national touring acts at Rams Head On Stage, jazz at 49 West Coffeehouse, local musicians at Metropolitan Kitchen, or take an art class with friends at ArtFarm. As you explore, you will find colorful public art, inviting places to dine, niche hotels, and vibrant community events including the First Sunday Arts Festivals, Dinner Under the Stars, Juneteenth, holiday parades, the Annapolis Songwriters Festival, and the Annapolis Film Festival.
Spend the day and you just might want to call this place home.
