The Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts (BOPA) is proud to announce the eighth edition of the Municipal Art Society of Baltimore City (MASB) Artist Travel Prize, sponsored by MASB.
Donor Name: Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts
State: Maryland
City: Baltimore
Type of Grant: Awards and Prizes
Deadline: 06/03/2024
Size of the Grant: $1000 to $10,000
Grant Duration: Grant Duration Not Mentioned
Details:
This prize will award $7,000 to a visual artist or visual artist collaborators, living or working in Baltimore City. Successful proposals will be selected from submissions that clearly articulate the artist’s reason for travel to the chosen destination and how it relates to their work.
The $7,000 prize is intended to function as funding for travel essential to an artist’s studio practice that an artist may not otherwise be able to afford.
Guidelines
- Artists living and/or working in Baltimore City are eligible; Artists must live or work (studio practice or arts/arts related organization/program) within Baltimore City during time of application and during the entire granting period.
- Artists must be at least 21 years old and may not be full-time students or enrolled in a degree-granting program at the time of the granting period, Summer 2023 to Fall 2024. (Although current seniors and last semester graduate students are encouraged to apply.)
- Artists who apply as individuals must submit original artwork that is principally created by them. It is understood that sometimes individual artists may employ the work of another artist to complete a larger scale project. For example, an artist who works in video may choose to include sound in the video that is composed by another artist. In such cases, the individual artist applying to the MASB Artist Travel Prize must be the primary creator of the work, they must disclose any assistance received on artwork submitted for consideration and they must obtain permission from the contributor to submit the work for consideration. Failure to disclose this support will disqualify the applicant, and the artist will be required to return any prize monies awarded.
- The award will be paid in two installments. $6,000 will be paid upon signing a contract with BOPA, wherein the artist agrees to the guidelines outlined here. The second payment of $1,000 will be paid upon the completion of travel by written notice to Lou Joseph.
- The artist award may not be used for the purchase of equipment or materials for art production.
- Winners of the MASB Artist Travel Grant Prize will be responsible for paying all applicable federal, state, and local taxes. 1099 form will be issued for tax purposes. The Budget prepared for the submission will also be submitted to the Fiscal agent in support of the funds distribution
- MASB and BOPA reserve the right to reproduce images of applicants’ work for printed or internet publicity, catalog, or marketing purposes.
- Previous winners of the MASB Public Art Prize are not eligible to apply for this award, as are recipients of the Henry Walters Travel Prize.
- MASB and BOPA reserve the right to reproduce images of applicants’ work for printed or internet publicity, catalog, or marketing purposes.
