Art Summit Registration Open

The Maryland Arts Summit, 

will be hosted at UMBC again this year!

This statewide conference presented by and for the Maryland arts sector!

The Summit is an opportunity to network and share the fantastic work that is being done across the state. This is a place for productive conversations to move the Maryland arts sector forward and ensure its long-term success. With this in mind, we have a few ways for you to attend this year's summit. You can:

• Pay the full amount for 1 or 2 days. Breakfast and lunch costs are included.
• Apply to be an artist at the Artist Bazaar. Bazaar artists can attend all sessions before the bazaar opens.
• Apply for the Artist Scholarship. You must attend both days of the Maryland Arts Summit.
• Apply for Community-Supported and Student Pricing. This offers a reduced rate for individuals who may find the standard cost prohibitive.
• Are you a member of Maryland Citizens of the Arts? If so, you have special pricing!
