Municipal Art Society of Baltimore City Artist Travel Prize
Municipal Art Society of Baltimore City Artist Travel Prize
The Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts (BOPA) and the Municipal Art Society of Baltimore City (MASB) have opened applications for the eighth edition of the Municipal Art Society of Baltimore City Artist Travel Prize. This year, the prize has been increased to $7,000, which will be awarded to a visual artist or visual artist collaborators living in Baltimore City. The $7,000 prize is intended to function as funding for travel essential to an artist’s studio practice that an artist may not otherwise be able to afford. Artists over the age of 21 who live and/or work in Baltimore City are eligible to apply. Applicants’ proposals do not need to be tied to a possible or secured artist residency; however, each proposal should include a post travel public presentation, i.e., an artist talk presented with BOPA and MASB.

About the Municipal Art Society of Baltimore City (MASB)
The Municipal Art Society of Baltimore was founded in 1899 as part of the City Beautiful movement. It is one of only two remaining societies to be operating under its original charter “to provide sculptural and pictorial decoration and ornaments for the public buildings, streets and open spaces in the City of Baltimore, and to help generally beautify the City.” Artistic contributions to the City span more than one hundred years. In 2016 the MASB embarked on a path to provide new opportunities to Baltimore artists and art places within the City, including this Artist Travel Prize and an annual Public Art Prize.
