About AREA 405
Once built as a brewery, this historical building was purchased and run by artists as an artist studio and exhibition space since 2002. Its industrial character has brought a unique exhibiting environment to the Baltimore art scene.
When this beloved building went on the market in 2021, Central Baltimore Partnership (CBP) and Ernst Valerie jointly acquired the building to preserve the affordability of this legendary artist space in 2022 (Station North Arts District is a program of CBP). Currently, 30+ artists work in this 170-year-old industrial warehouse.
