The American Visionary Art Museum is located in a historic location in downtown Baltimore at the base of Federal Hill.

Nestled at the base of historic Federal Hill in the southside of Baltimore's beautiful Inner Harbor, the American Visionary Art Museum is a unique and exciting venue for receptions, meetings, and special events. Not only is the museum the national repository for the artworks created by self-taught artists, the building's architecture is an artistic creation unto itself -winning many international and national awards for its design and beauty. Our venue is easily accessible by foot (a 15 minute walk from the Convention Center) or by water transport (Water Taxi or Harbor Shuttle) and convenient to all of Baltimore's downtown attractions.

AVAM is capable of hosting events from small intimate dinner parties to large scale receptions. Some examples of the kinds of events that we have hosted include:

• Cocktail receptions in our main museum facility in which guests are able to tour throughout.
• Outdoor parties in our Plaza with a band and dancing under the giant Vollis Simpson whirligig.
• Seated dinners of up to 150 in our large Sculpture Barn (and Sculpture Garden!)- whether it be a dinner with presentation or a wedding reception with dancing.
• Private catered dinners in the spectacular Joy America Cafe, (or it's enclosed terrace) which is located on the third level of the museum.
• Special functions such as wedding ceremonies and receptions, rehearsal dinners, retirement parties or big birthday events.
