Call to Artists: Apply Now for the 2025–2028 Maryland Public Art Roster

Jun 12

National Call to Artists!

Maryland is now accepting the next Maryland Public Art Roster cycle, covering the period from October 2025 through September 2028.

Due: June 30

Apply: https://msac.submittable.com/submit

The State of Maryland commissions approximately 5-7 public art projects per year across a range of scales and locations. The primary way we select artists for these commissions is through our Maryland Public Artist Roster, which opens only once every three years. Once selected, roster artists are eligible for consideration for all upcoming projects across the state.

Our project budgets typically range from $50,000 to $1,000,000, and artists on the roster are considered for a wide variety of site-specific and community-centered works.

We encourage you to consider applying to the roster. The application is due here by June 30, 2025, and includes:

A brief bio
An artist statement
A brief community engagement question
10 artwork samples

Why Apply?
✅ The roster is the primary way artists are selected for Maryland state funded public art commissions.
✅ When grant applicants come to us looking for Maryland-Based artists—we send them to the roster (current roster here - the new roster will replace this list).
