Public art and placemaking transform infrastructure into experience. We want concepts where art is integral to the corridor — woven into surfaces, structures, and light — not bolted on after the fact.
Why it matters
Art tells the story of who lives here, what came before, and what's next. It gives Baltimoreans pride in their corridors and gives visitors a reason to slow down and look.
What we're looking for
- Art and design integrated with infrastructure (bridges, walls, paving, lighting)
- Environmental storytelling that surfaces local history and culture
- Opportunities for rotating, seasonal, or community-authored work
- Material and craft choices that elevate ordinary surfaces
Example moves
- Murals on overpass walls and tunnel portals
- Sculptural installations at gateway moments
- Programmable architectural lighting
- Pattern, type, and graphics in paving and signage
