The Baltimore Office of Sustainability’s Baltimore Green Network and Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts welcome proposals for sculptures and installations to be installed as part of the 2018-2019 season of the Lots Alive outdoor sculpture program. Winning proposals will be eligible for grants up to $5,000.
Lots Alive supports the creation of temporary outdoor sculpture sited on vacant lots in the Park Heights community.

Designed in partnership with Mayor Catherine E. Pugh’s Baltimore Green Network, Lots Alive aims to breathe life into underutilized vacant spaces through creative interventions.
