Description
The Municipal Art Society of Baltimore City and Create Baltimore annually award the Artist Travel Prize, listed among Baltimore Community Foundation’s grant opportunities. The prize supports a visual artist or visual-artist collaborators living or maintaining a studio in Baltimore City, with a focus on emerging artists. It funds travel to a specific destination that is essential to the applicant’s studio practice, rather than travel without a clear relationship to that practice.
The proposal must explain the reason for travel and why the chosen destination matters to the artist’s work. The prize also connects the travel experience with a public presentation of new artwork, bringing work created during or as a result of the journey into a public setting.
