This project intends to highlight the creativity of the state of Maryland. Through creative writing (poetry and prose in all of its forms), visual art, and anything experimental that can be shown on a page, we want to see how Maryland influences you as a creative. From photographs of your life to poetry about the Inner Harbor, if it stems from your life in Maryland in some way, we'd love to see it! If you are an artist that also resides in Maryland, we are hoping to see some work from you!
