ManneqART, a Laurel-based art museum and studio, announced its scheduled move into the Bromo Arts District in Baltimore has been postponed indefinitely.

“We would love to move to Baltimore … [but] we weren’t able to work out final arrangements with the building,” Executive Director Al Scolnick said Tuesday.

The museum will not be relocated for “the foreseeable future,” Scolnick said.

After 18 years tucked in the back of an industrial park at 9010 Maier Road, the plan was to move both ManneqART and the ManneqART Museum to 322 W. Baltimore St. in June. The move was to put ManneqART in “a bigger and more active arts community,” Scolnick said.

The ManneqART Madness Photography Day, originally set for June 24, is rescheduled for Oct. 13 and 14 in Laurel at the museum. The event will feature nearly 50 artist entries who interpreted this year’s theme of Love, Fantasy, Metro, Mechanics for the annual Sculptural Artworks Competition. Artists with the best art work for each theme are awarded a $1,000 award with a $3,000 master award given for the best overall artwork.

ManneqART will also have a show, “Sculpture on the Human Form,” featured in the Howard County Arts Council’s main exhibit gallery from Aug. 31 to Oct. 11.
