The 2024 Public Art Passport summer exhibition will be held throughout Michigan’s Great Lakes Bay Region and will run from June through August 2024.

Submissions will be reviewed and accepted by the Public Art Passport committee. Selected artists will receive stipends of $3,000 (2/3 paid to artist at the time of installation and 1/3 paid at time of deinstallation).
