Located in a 160 year-old artist-owned warehouse within Baltimore's Station North Arts and Entertainment District, AREA 405 is committed to showcasing and strengthening the vitality of the arts community within Baltimore. Our 66,000 square feet warehouse at 405 East Oliver Street provides a particular setting for exhibitions as well as studio space for the 40+ artists who work here (Oliver Street Studios).

Collaborating with art, cultural and community organizations throughout the region, AREA 405 has hosted scores of events featuring thousands of artists and tens of thousands of visitors since opening its doors in 2003.
