Throughout the year, the Baltimore Office of Promotion & The Arts (BOPA) seeks visual, literary and performing artists to participate in large-scale festivals and special events. Now, artists and cultural organizations can visit one place to learn about current calls for artists, upcoming projects and arts-related events.
