This spring, Historic Annapolis and our partners invited artists to submit original designs for a public billboard inspired by the theme “History Marches On.”
As we celebrate America 250th birthday, we sought artwork that reflects Annapolis’s important role in our nation’s founding and the spirit that continues to shape our community today.
We received a number of creative and compelling entries, and judges chose a design by local artist Kyle Conway as the winner! His incredible design features many symbols from Annapolis’s past and present. The more you look at it, the more you discover.
His design graced the billboard facing Dock Street in downtown Annapolis all summer from from June through August, giving residents and visitors a new artistic way to experience the city’s story.
Thank you to Kyle and all the other artists who submitted designs with their creative takes on our city’s history!
