Cloisters Castle

The Cloisters

Settled high on a hill in Lutherville among 60 acres of secluded woods, The Cloisters reflects the beauty and grandeur of medieval Europe, with delicately carved wood, exquisitely detailed stained glass, and ornately designed wrought iron.

Sumner and Dudrea Parker designed the castle to highlight their extensive collection of medieval artwork and artifacts, and now their masterpiece is available to showcase your special event. Whether you are planning a wedding, a special birthday party, a bar or bat mitzvah, a holiday ball, or a business reception, The Cloisters will provide an unforgettable setting for you and your guests.

School 33 Art Center

School 33 Art Center was established in 1979 as a neighborhood art center for contemporary art in the South Baltimore area of Baltimore City. Formally known as P.S. 33, the architecturally engaging brick and brownstone building built in 1890, was utilized as an elementary school until 1975 when a new facility was built for neighborhood children a few blocks away. The South Baltimore Community Committee requested that Mayor Donald Schaefer revitalize the vacant and vandalized building.  Based on the success of Long Island City’s P.S. 1 in New York and the strong national presence of alternative space programs in the late seventies, Mayor Schaefer proposed a similar program for Baltimore, thus creating School 33 Art Center.
