Delve Into Poetry, Arts, Books, and More

Peabody Bookshop & Beer Stube

The Peabody Bookshop links poetry, art, authors, books and book festivals. We attract an audience from across Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia. Our “Bookshop on Wheels” is a joint project with Mr. Fabian Thomas of Kansas City and Charles C. Lancaster of Baltimore Maryland. The Bookshop was managed by Charles C. Lancaster Jr. from 1965-1987 when the building was torn down. In 2022, the bookshop podcast concept was organized by his son, Charles C. Lancaster III (b. 1976) as a wholly owned subsidiary of Accelspace Ventures a real estate marketing and branding company located in Chinatown, Washington D.C. We’ll be hosting pop-up events in the Mount Vernon neighborhood of Baltimore. Stay tuned!!

Chesapeake Bay Art Exhibition

Local painters in Maryland exhibit their latest works of art. This upcoming show features an exhibition of oil paintings and sculptures inspired by Life on the Chesapeake Bay. Regional artists from Maryland, DC and Virginia are welcome to contact us regarding submission requirements for this show scheduled for May of 2025.

Our “Maryland-Focused” podcast connects the creative economy of rural creatives to the urban art buyers in Baltimore, Annapolis, Frederick, Cumberland and other creative art networks in Maryland.

Love of water, fishing, and life on the Chesapeake Bay are the foundation for this annual art exhibition to support the Anacostia Watershed Society. Maryland has 23 counties. Sixteen of these are in contact tidal water. Helping AWS and their mission to improve and clean the Anacostia River has downstream impact on the health and wellness of fishing and oyster farm production in the lower Potomac River.

Real estate developers are moving into the Maryland countryside to purchase family farms and struggling shopping centers, and reposition abandoned retail clusters for a new wave of commercial investment and asset redevelopment. This work can create destroy wetlands, woodlands and the green and natural landscape that we must all protect to keep the Chesapeake Bay heathy and vibrant.

The Peabody Bookshop seeks the opportunity to work with community stakeholders throughout Southern Maryland. Building out a locally focused Podcast Studio is an opportunity to move our operations from Chinatown to Southern Maryland. Leonardtown might become a supportive community to design, build, and manage a community podcast studio that straddles the time-space divide between historical architecture and future-focused tech and innovation networks in Southern Maryland.

Our long-term objective is to build a YouTube-focused podcast studio and art gallery. Next year, 50% of all proceeds from the sale of art will be given to the Anacostia Watershed Society a Maryland 501 (c) 3.
