Overview
Public Art Baltimore is a new partnership to connect individuals and organizations committed to celebrating and preserving Baltimore’s public art, outdoor sculpture, and murals to network and collaborate in new ways.
Our shared goals include:
- Educating Baltimore residents on how public art is commissioned and managed
- Facilitating community participation in public art education and conservation
- Increasing resources for public art conservation
- Enhancing the visibility of existing public art programs
- Advocating for the protection of public art/monuments
By working together, we hope to build a stronger network of public art advocates with the knowledge and expertise to protect Baltimore’s public art and monuments while continuing to celebrate the renaissance of interest in public art-making.
