BOPA and the Baltimore City Department of Transportation are pleased to announce a public art opportunity that hopes to brighten and enhance the pedestrian and community experience along York Road.
Artists are invited to design and create original street signs that will be placed along York Road between 43rd and Glenwood Ave. Multiple artists will be selected to participate in the project and can choose from creating an image directly onto a blank steel sign or submitting a design to be professionally printed.
So what do you think is missing from the existing cannon of street sign visual culture? What would you add to the landscape given the opportunity?

EUNIC Washington DC Cluster – Culture and Communications Intern for Baltimore
Baltimore City’s three Arts & Entertainment Districts have received a $200,000 grant from ArtPlace America. The grant funds Transit, a project which brings together European and Baltimore artists, arts organizations, city planners and transportation officials to strategically transform transit environments within the Bromo Tower Arts & Entertainment District, the Highlandtown Arts & Entertainment District and the Station North Arts & Entertainment District. The project was chosen from more than 1,200 applications as an exceptional example of creative placemaking.
Transit places artists and art at the center of city planning, execution and activity to transform undervalued spaces into places where communities gather and thrive. Baltimore is rich with artists and arts organizations, many located within the unique environment and personality of each Arts & Entertainment District. Transit leverages these assets by engaging the creative communities already present to elevate the visibility and capitalize on their commitment to the distinctiveness of each district.
ArtPlace America is a collaboration of leading national and regional foundations, banks and federal agencies committed to accelerating creative placemaking – putting art at the heart of a portfolio of strategies designed to revitalize communities. For more information visit www.artplaceamerica.org.
