MOTOR HOUSE IS CELEBRATING
10 YEARS OF CREATIVE MOTION
Located in Baltimore’s Station North Arts and Entertainment District, Motor House is a nonprofit arts hub where creativity, community and culture collide. Housed in a renovated 1914 automotive showroom, the venue includes gallery spaces, a black box theater, offices, a showroom and affordable studios for local artists. Since opening in 2015, it has become a vital gathering place for performers, visual artists and neighborhood residents.
OUR MISSION
Motor House is a creative crossroads rooted in the culture of Baltimore. We are a non-profit arts hub, gallery, and performance space that encourages new visions, bold experiments, and emerging voices to celebrate the artistry of our city.
OUR VISION
Motor House envisions a world where creatives are empowered and thriving in their careers.
“Celebrating 10 years of Motor House is a milestone that reflects BARCO’s commitment to developing spaces where art and community intersect. We are a people-centric developer dedicated to ensuring that artists and neighborhoods not only have a place to create but the support they need to thrive - turning spaces into vibrant, lasting communities.”
