Join us in celebrating Father’s Day with song, dance, and a fun craft!

Art Salon with Suzi Cordish
2026-06-18 17:00 - 19:00 | Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland, 7002 Arundel Mills Circle Ste 7777, Hanover, MD, 21076, United States
PLEASE JOIN US FOR THIS VERY SPECIAL ARTS MONTH EVENT!

Join us on June 18, 2026, at 5-7 PM at LIVE! Casino and Hotel Maryland
As part of our ARTS MONTH celebration, the Arts Council of Anne Arundel County invites you to a very special glimpse into an incredible local art collection. During the event, Mrs. Cordish will discuss the collection, followed by a tour of highlighted artwork.
The Cordish Art Collection, a 40+ piece contemporary art collection by world-renowned artists, including Andy Warhol, described by The New York Times as an art museum experience in the comfort of a hotel. The theme of the collection is FUN, and fun is what entices Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland guests return again and again. This multi-disciplined exhibit of artworks displayed throughout the hotel and casino conveys a sense of playfulness, energy, and excitement. The works unify our community of guests with joy, wonder, and beauty.
Mrs. Cordish believes art can transform one’s spirit and outlook, and with that conviction in mind, she set out to assemble an exhibit for the newly expanded Live! Casino Hotel. Her first find was $ (9): One Plate, by Andy Warhol. She procured this screen monoprint in 2015 at an auction in New York. The playful dollar signs against a bright red background offer a nice wink to casino goers, as well as to the brand’s signature red color. The piece is perfect for the setting.
She collected other works from there, juxtaposing local Baltimore artists like Chul-Hyun Ayn with internationally based sculptors and painters. Though the collection features some of the most important contemporary artists working today, relevance to the art world was not the driving standard behind her selections.
The conveyance of humor and fun influenced all acquisitions so that together they would represent the Cordish family’s inherent energy and happiness. Nothing means more to the Cordish Family than surprising and delighting their guests. We hope you can come join us for this very special and FUN event!
