The mission of the Garrett-Jacobs Mansion Endowment Fund is to preserve and restore the Mansion as a National Historic Landmark and to share the history, architectural and civic legacy of the Mansion for the benefit and education of the public.

We're delighted to share our stage—literally—with local performing arts organizations through our Artists-in-Residence Program. The Mansion hosts and supports a limited number of small performing arts groups for the enjoyment of their audiences, reminiscent of Mrs. Garrett's turn-of-the-century soirees. Our current Artists in Residence include: The Unified Jazz Ensemble, the Atlantic Guitar Quartet, Opera Baltimore, and Live Arts Maryland - which includes The Annapolis Chorale, Annapolis Chamber Orchestra, Bach+ Consort, and Cantori.
