IMPACT is an ongoing public art program developed in 2012 to extend Maryland Art Place’s reach to broader audiences throughout Maryland. Each IMPACT project is developed to respond to its partner site while creating meaningful opportunities for Maryland artists and expanding public access to contemporary art.

 

Since its launch, MAP has completed more than 18 IMPACT projects through partnerships with cultural organizations, businesses, developers, and community institutions.
