The Prince George’s Arts and Humanities Council (PGAHC) is seeking applications from talented local muralists or teams to create community-driven public art as part of the Blue Line Corridor Placemaking Initiative. This initiative will bring three new murals to the inner-beltway municipalities of the Blue Line Corridor: the City of Seat Pleasant, the Town of Capitol Heights, and the Town of Fairmount Heights.

The selected artist(s) will design and create a mural at the pocket park near the town’s new Net Zero Energy home development, contributing to a broader vision of activating public spaces and using art to tell the community’s story.This project aligns with the County’s broader goals for the Blue Line Corridor: to elevate public spaces with art that reflects the community, fosters family-friendly experiences, and strengthens civic identity.
