Entry Deadline Extended to November 3
Good news for Baltimore’s creative community! The Peale has extended the deadline for Built to Last: A Juried Art Exhibit of Baltimore’s Enduring Landmarks through November 3, 2025 — giving artists, photographers, students, and city lovers two more weeks to submit their work.
So far, over twenty Baltimore artists have joined the call to celebrate our city’s architecture — from the Gayety Theatre and Old St. Paul’s Church to The Peale itself — through original artwork. But we know there are many more stories, perspectives, and creative voices still waiting to be seen.

A total of $5,000 in cash prizes will be awarded:
- Grand Prize – $2,500
- Second Place – $1,000
- Third Place – $700

Whether you’re a professional artist, an architecture enthusiast, or someone who just loves the look and feel of Baltimore’s historic buildings, we invite you to show your vision of what makes this city Built to Last.
Selected works will be featured in The Peale’s spring 2026 exhibition and highlighted across our media channels and community partner networks.
