History Marches On: Celebrating Annapolis and America 250
Historic Annapolis and our partners invited artists to submit original designs for a public billboard inspired by the theme “History Marches On.”
As America approaches its 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 are proud to announce the winning design by local artist, Kyle Conway! His incredible design features many symbols from Annapolis’s past and present. The more you look at it, the more you discover. Enjoy a peek at the design below and see the full-scale version on a billboard facing Dock Street in downtown Annapolis from June 1 through approximately August 24, giving residents and visitors a new artistic way to experience the city’s story.
