  • Brief Description

    Frederick Arts Council seeks qualifications from artists or artist teams to design coordinating large-scale artworks that will activate two of Frederick County, MD’s “gateway” locations. These gateways are pre-identified locations in Middletown and Walkersville, MD that serve as entrances to these Frederick County communities. The intent behind these artworks is to unify Frederick County’s individual localities and provide a sense of cohesion, with the artworks adhering to a common theme. The maximum size of the gateway artworks should be approximately 15' in height with an 8' x 8' base.

    At this stage, we are requesting that interested applicants submit their CV, a letter of interest, examples of their past projects, and a link to their website or other portfolio platform.
