Description
The Municipal Art Society of Baltimore City (MASB) Artist Travel Prize, administered by the Baltimore Office of Promotion and The Arts, is designed to support visual artists or collaborative teams based in Baltimore City. The $8,000 prize is intended to fund travel that is essential to an artist’s studio practice—enabling recipients to pursue opportunities and experiences that would otherwise be financially inaccessible. The program places particular emphasis on emerging artists and requires a clear proposal outlining the travel destination and the anticipated impact on the artist’s development. Within one year of completing the funded travel, recipients must present a public-facing showcase of new work resulting from their experience.
