Located in a 160 year-old artist-owned warehouse within Baltimore’s Station North Arts and Entertainment District, AREA 405 is committed to demonstrating and strengthening the vitality of the arts community within Baltimore.
Since 2003, Area 405 has hosted a range of events from visual arts exhibitions and dance performances to video screenings, theatre and experimental music performances. Area 405 also serves its community by hosting benefits and meeting space for non profits, schools and neighborhood groups. Area 405 offers one of the region’s largest exhibition spaces. At nearly 7,000 square feet, this former industrial site is an ideal context in which to present large-scale exhibitions. It is housed in a 160 year old 66,000 square foot artist owned building where over 30 artists create. Area 405 is solely run by volunteers.
