The Gateway to the Arts District
CIRCLE CREATIVES
47 Spa Road | Westgate Circle
What is Circle Creatives?
Circle Creatives and adjacent venue Prism currently provide the largest private space for artists in the City’s Arts District.
The gateway to the Annapolis Arts District–literally and figuratively–
this unique space on Westgate Circle has taken on a new life from an old industrial facility, now thriving with the synergy of the artists inhabiting it. Driven by incredibly talented people, Circle Creatives has blossomed into a
haven for creative entrepreneurs.
“With about a dozen tenants, including designers, photographers, furniture makers, painters, illustrators, an event planner and a Zen healer, it holds more artists and other creatives than any other privately owned building in the Annapolis Arts District.”

Artist Income Tax Subtraction Modification
A "qualified residing artist" who lives in Maryland and sells "artistic work" in any of the 29 A&E Districts throughout the State is eligible for the income tax subtraction modification on income derived from their in-district sales (for performing artists, this includes income derived from performances in a district; for all "qualified residing artists", this includes internet sales originating in a district.)
Eligible artists should submit a Form 502AE with their annual state tax filing to claim the modification. Click here to access Form 502AE . On the website, hover over "Forms," and choose 502AE on the drop down menu under "Individual Tax Forms."
