The vision of the Main Street Public Art Project is to celebrate Frederick County’s downtowns, to create linkages between the five communities and to highlight the connections between their agricultural communities and downtowns—both today and into the future.

This project calls for public art installations that are  active for one year. The pieces should be exploratory and experimental in nature and could engage with one or more senses. In this case, the temporary art pieces should be removable after a year or be composed of materials that only have a lifespan of a year. The goals of the project are the following:

• To highlight both the common threads of the Main Streets (what makes them “Frederick County”) and the uniqueness of each Main Street.
• To encourage locals and tourists to visit and appreciate the offerings in each of the Main Street
  sites.
• To engage dialogue with the community about art and how it can enhance public spaces
