Call for Mural Artists   Recently updated !

The Maryland School for the Blind invites proposals from professional mural artists to design and install a permanent mural on the central exterior wall and coordinating accents on the surrounding walls of the William S. Ratchford II Outdoor Learning Space. The selected mural will bring visual identity and warmth to the space, which is designed as a fully accessible, flexible-use outdoor classroom and gathering area serving students of all ages and abilities.

Aerial views showcase our school campus, featuring two prominent buildings. In each image, a red circle highlights the same rooftop area—designated as the William S. Ratchford, II Outdoor Learning Space. This unique location offers an outstanding opportunity for talented mural artists to display their creative work and enhance our community environment.
