Community Partners & Sponsors

MD Hall is a proud home of the annual Annapolis Film Festival. Additionally, through a partnership with the Annapolis Film Society, and support from the Goldstein-Cunitz Center for Film & New Media at Maryland Hall, pre-release film screenings take place monthly at MD Hall. The Annapolis Film Society is dedicated to the celebration of the art of film, to using its power and magic to bring together our diverse community in thoughtful dialogue, and to partnering with other artistic organizations and business leaders to foster ongoing conversations.

Nature Sacred exists to inspire, inform and guide communities in the creation of public green spaces—called Sacred Places—designed to improve mental health, unify communities and engender peace. For over 25 years, Nature Sacred has partnered with over 130 communities across the country to infuse nearby nature into places where healing is often needed most: distressed urban neighborhoods, schools, hospitals, prisons and more.

Maryland Hall's front lawn--called the Founders Green--features a 42-foot labyrinth. The labyrinth at Maryland Hall, designed and constructed in 2001-2002 with the support of Nature Sacred, is a replica of the labyrinth inlaid in the nave floor of the Notre Dame de Chartres Cathedral outside of Paris.

The labyrinth is part of the Founder's Green (front lawn) of Maryland Hall which also includes walkways and a painter's circle. The labyrinth has eleven circuits to its single pathway, for a walk that is approximately one-half mile in length and has a diameter of just over 42 feet.

We are so thankful for our partnership with Nature Sacred!
