The Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) is seeking artwork for projects integrated into the design and infrastructure of the future Purple
Line transit corridor in suburban Washington, D.C. Â This call is open to artists from a broad range of media, and will be used to generate pools of artists who could be selected to compete for specific projects in
the future.
The Purple Line is a new, 16-mile-long light-rail line extending from Bethesda in Montgomery County to New Carrollton in Prince George’s
County. Art opportunities anticipated relate to stations (underground, surface and elevated) as well as infrastructure elements between the
stations. Construction of the Purple Line is expected to begin in 2015 and end in 2020.

Members of the Texas Sculpture Group are encouraged to apply! Â Deadline for entry is this Friday, November 14th.
