About the Gallery

The Annapolis Collection Gallery is not only filled with history, the building itself is part of Annapolis History.  In 1865, the Slama family came in to the US and erected the building on West Street, opening a shoe store downstairs making the apartment above the shop their residence. The Slama name is still imprinted in the tile to the entrance of the building. In 2007, Katherine Burke moved her gallery (previously from 45 West Street) into the Slama building on 55 West Street. 

The Annapolis Collection Gallery is devoted to six Annapolis masters and houses a collection of vintage black and white photographs by Charles Emery, with select prints from Aubrey Bodine. Located on West Street in historic Annapolis just one block away from Church Circle, the gallery is open from 1pm – 6pm Monday through Friday, 9am-1pm Saturdays, and 11am-4pm Sundays.  As you enter your senses are greeted by the aroma of teak wood, the sound of Chopin, and the visual delights of Greg Harlin, Ann Munro Wood, Moe Hanson, Roxie Munro, Yoomi Yoon, and Rick Casali.  The mixed mediums of oil paint, watercolor, pastel + charcoal, intricate paper cuttings and sculptures are complimented by the black and white photographs of Charles Emery, Aubrey Bodine and Marion Warren.  With such history adorning the walls the gallery welcomed Annapolis photographer Jay Fleming and his pieces from his journeys on the water ways.  This mix of new, old, local, and international brings art afficionados from all walks of life, ensuring each has something to take home. 

Passionate about the arts, Katherine has been a proponent of arts in Annapolis. The Annapolis Collection Gallery pieces are often seen throughout the town, in private establishments and public places. Ever been to Grauls? Next time, look up. The large black and whites were carefully curated by Katherine to make your shopping experience more memorable.
