MASB Artist Travel Prize - 2026

The Municipal Art Society of Baltimore City (MASB) presents its annual Artist Travel Prize, hosted by Create Baltimore. The 2026 edition offers a $7,000 award to support travel essential to the recipient’s studio practice. Applicants must be visual artists or visual artist collaborators who live or maintain a studio in Baltimore City, be at least 21 years old, and not be full‑time students or enrolled in a degree‑granting program during the application and grant period. The prize is intended solely for travel expenses and cannot be used for equipment or material purchases. Applications are accepted online through the Baltimore Office of Promotion and the Arts from May 29, 2026 until September 30, 2026 (11:59 PM EDT). The call is free to apply. The award is announced after the deadline, and the selected artist receives the travel grant to fund a project‑related trip. This is a recurring annual call.
