Baltimore City artists of all kinds have opportunities to apply for grants through Create Baltimore. The 2026 Municipal Art Society of Baltimore (MASB) Artist Travel Prize is for emerging artists who live or work in Baltimore City. The prize funds travel that is critical to an artist’s studio practice but might be out of their financial reach.
Grant Details
This year, the prize amount has been increased to $8,000. Another change to the Artist Travel Prize is that within one year of returning from their travel, the selected artist must publicly showcase new work created either during their travel or because of their travel experience. The proposals will be reviewed by the MASB board of directors.
Free Fall Baltimore is a yearly citywide celebration held each October in conjunction with National Arts and Humanities Month. Individual artists and small arts organizations in Baltimore City can now apply for 2026 Free Fall Baltimore grants. Create Baltimore provides $1,500 to grant recipients to produce a variety of arts and cultural events that are free and open to the public.
The deadline to apply for this year’s MASB Artist Travel Prize is Tuesday, July 14, 2026, at 5 p.m. The deadline to apply for Free Fall Baltimore grants or participate in Free Fall Promotion is Wednesday, July 23, 2026, at 5 p.m.
