The Annapolis Insider

Mary Ann Treger shares news and views from around town.

I just heard some buzz about a free art and antiques show that may be worth jotting on your calendar. 

Even if you’re not an antiques enthusiast, a spin through the show offers the opportunity to see a great old building that isn’t normally open to the general public.   

On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May 29, 30 and 31, art, antiques and historic photographs will be on display in the front parlor, grand hallway and ballroom of The Masonic Lodge at 162 Conduit Street, a wonderful old historic building that’s chock full of history. It was once City Hall and the site of the 1786 Annapolis Convention. Before it became The Masonic Lodge it was George Mann’s Tavern. 

Browse through watercolors depicting historic American events and photos of old Annapolis street scenes as well as an interesting collection of antique furniture and accessories.

The show will be open to the public from noon to 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and noon until 4 p.m. on Sunday. Stop by on Saturday night from 5:30 to 8 p.m. and meet artist, Greg Harlin. You’ll get to enjoy some live classical music while he’s there—a violin and flute performance is scheduled.

Music, an inspiring environment, beautiful art, a chat with an expert—sounds like a creative and economical date night to me.
