Maryland State Arts Council AI policy
Varies by programChecked November 9, 2026
In short
In its Grants for Artists FY 2027 guidelines, Maryland State Arts Council requires applicants to disclose whether generative AI was used to develop, create, or refine any work samples. Samples made with AI support are eligible if the artist keeps primary creative control, but samples entirely generated by AI are not accepted.
For applicants
- Grants for Artists applicants must disclose whether generative AI was used to develop, create, or refine any submitted work sample, using a checkbox provided with each sample.[1]
- Work samples created with the support of AI tools are eligible if the artist retains primary creative control, but work samples entirely generated by AI are not accepted.[1]

“Applicants must disclose whether generative AI was used to develop, create, or refine any submitted work samples. A checkbox will be provided with each sample asking if the applicant used AI to develop any of the submitted work samples.”
“Samples of work created with the support of AI tools are eligible for consideration when AI supports the artist’s vision and creative actions, and the artist retains primary creative control. Work samples entirely generated by AI are not accepted.”
