Art is everywhere, American sculptor Louise Nevelson once said. Even in a shopping center in suburban Anne Arundel County.
Steps away from a Burlington clothing store and a Medieval Times dinner theater is an unexpected oasis for art lovers: the Cordish Collection, housed in Hanover’s Live! Casino & Hotel.
Amid a sea of flashing slot machines and busy card tables are paintings, sculptures and mixed-media works by renowned artists such as Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Jennifer Steinkamp, Nick Cave and others. They fill the walls of the roughly 330,000-square-foot entertainment destination, which opened 13 years ago this month. While visitors must be 21 to enter the casino floor, nearly all of the art is displayed in areas open to the public, regardless of age.
