Maryland Hall Reopens
Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts announced that it has entered into an initial phase of reopening its campus. Students registered for classes at Maryland Hall as well as individuals with appointments are now permitted to enter the building. In addition, The Cafe at Maryland Hall is now offering curbside pickup and the art supply store Art Things is now open to patrons. Please note that at this time there is no open access to Maryland Hall and public access is limited.
“At Maryland Hall, we have dedicated this time to finding creative solutions for sharing the arts in new ways that will keep our community safe,” said Katie Redmiles, Digital Marketing & Communications Specialist. “Reopening our doors to students is the first step of our gradual reopening plan and we’re hopeful that our measured approach with smaller indoor activities, expanded virtual programming, and planned outdoor programming will provide something for everyone’s comfort level. We all need the arts to get through challenging times and we’re committed to helping people stay connected, whether it’s virtually or through in-person experiences 6 feet apart.”
