Accessible entrance is located on the Charles St. side of the building next to the BJC mural. Ring doorbell for entry.

The Club Car
12 W North Ave
Come to the opening reception for artist Doug Johnson's exhibit "Reeling in the Years", chronicling 30 years living and working in Baltimore in watercolors. Johnson has selected pieces from a wide range of styles, intentions, and storytelling over 3 decades of painting. From the gentle and sublime to the lurid and confrontational, many of these paintings have never been shown publicly before. Watercolors, normally displayed behind glass, are instead shown bare, so the powerful light and colors are raw and uninterrupted by a reflective barrier. A personal love-letter to Baltimore, there will never be an exhibit like this one again, opening reception from 5pm-9pm on Friday, July 12 at Club Car Baltimore. Check out the event on Facebook here!
