siteMaryland

Deadline: August 18, 2006

The Baltimore Museum of Art, in collaboration with the Maryland State Arts Council, inaugurates siteMaryland, a month-long juried exhibition of art by leading contemporary artists living and working in Maryland. Designed to change venues yearly, this year's project (opening October 1) will take as its site the grounds of the BMA, where artists are invited to rethink and reinvent the exterior spaces of the facility.

Adjacent to the Johns Hopkins University campus, the BMA boasts a blend of contemporary and neoclassical architecture, a renowned sculpture garden, and a dramatic stepped entrance along Art Museum Dr. Applicants are encouraged to visit the museum to develop ideas for the site.

Submissions must include a written description of the concept and images of recent work. Awards ranging from $1000 - $2500 will be granted as needed for materials.

Applications must be received no later than August 18. Please mail your submissions and a SASE to siteMaryland, Baltimore Museum of Art, 10 Art Museum Dr, Baltimore MD 21218 or email siteMaryland@artbma.org for more details.
