The M&T Bank Exchange is a flexible performance and event space in a restored historic bank building on West Fayette Street in downtown Baltimore. It’s part of the France-Merrick Performing Arts Center, next door to the Hippodrome Theatre, and hosts concerts, cabaret, comedy, and community events too small for the Hippodrome’s 2,300 seats.

The renovation kept the grand character of the old banking hall and added a mezzanine level for extra seating and circulation, plus a permanent sound and lighting package. Depending on the event, the room may be set with theater rows, tables, or open standing space.
M&T Bank Exchange History
The building is the historic Eutaw Savings Bank, preserved when the restored Hippodrome reopened in 2004 with the idea that it would one day become a smaller venue. After seven years of planning and construction and a $20 million investment, the Hippodrome Foundation opened it as the M&T Bank Exchange.
