MSAC is working with the University System of Maryland on the artist selection process for public art commissions in two Capital Improvement Projects. The calls are open to all US-based artists. The online application only requires a resume, letter of interest, and background images. No proposals are accepted at this stage. The Artist Selection Committee will select three semi-finalists for each project at each University to develop artwork proposals. Semi-finalists will be offered a stipend of $2,500 each for their time and travel. Click here to download and review the full RFQs before applying at publicartist.org.
