Mount Rainier Skate Park is located just behind the Imagination Theme Playground, on the corner of Wells Avenue and Otis Street, wedged between a residential area and train tracks. At approximately 6,000 square feet, it provides great space for skaters. This park is located within the Mount Rainier Historic District and Gateway Arts District, which is a haven for creativity with an array of art studios, event and performance venues, and creative spaces. In fact, the skate park is parallel to the artists’ studios located on Otis Street, where you will find larger-than-life bold and colorful murals affixed on the brick walls.
The skate park features a plaza designed for beginner and intermediate skaters; two raised plaza areas connected to steps, rails, and ramps; and picnic tables and benches.
The community creative art day Deck the Park—Public Art Bash took place in fall 2025 at Mount Rainier Skate Park; community members embarked on selecting different visuals to determine the future look and feel of the park. Thereafter, an online survey was conducted, and the results from both the in-person creative arts day and the online survey helped to inform the project goals and themes for this call for artist opportunity.
This public art opportunity is made possible by the input of community members that live or work within the Mt. Rainier Skate Park area. Overall goals for the public art project include:
- Art style should incorporate cultural and heritage components that are inspired by local traditions and diverse identities.
- Color palette vibes should signify bold and bright colors that are energetic, fun, and high contrast.
- Themes to explore should center around youth culture and skate life.
- Preferred location of the public artwork is murals on the walls.
A total budget of $70,000 is allocated for this commission, which must cover all costs, including artist fee, design, materials, fabrication, installation, insurance, and transportation.

[Side Arts Certified Sponsored Listing] Annmarie Sculpture Garden and Arts Center announces a call for artists to submit original artwork to the Rhythm: Movement In Art exhibition.
This exhibition will examine how artists capture, interpret, and evoke movement through visual rhythm.

Kinetic sculpture and other motion-based works are encouraged, especially those that physically manifest the exhibition’s themes of rhythm and movement. Works may reference rhythm found in nature, the human body, architecture, sound, or purely abstract movement, but the central focus remains on how artists create the feeling of motion through visual means. Viewers will be encouraged to experience how visual art can reflect the beats, patterns, and motions that animate the world around us.

Management
The 30 acre grounds of Annmarie Sculpture Garden is owned and supported by the Board of Calvert County Commissioners. In accordance with the lease and management agreement, Annmarie is operated by the Koenig Private Foundation, a private, non-profit, charitable organization. The Foundation employes the staff of Annmarie, and seeks out grants and donations to support the payroll budget and fund special projects at Annmarie. The many activities and programs of Annmarie are supported by Ann’s Circle, Inc., a 501 c 3 non-profit organization whose board consists of residents drawn from the Southern Maryland community. Ann’s Circle offers a membership package with a variety of attractive benefits. Membership is open to all.
Funding
The thirty acre property that comprises Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center is owned by the people of Calvert County and relies on the support of three entities for its operating budget, capital improvement budget, and events and programming budget. An annual grant from the Calvert County Commissioners to the Koenig Private Foundation supports the personnel budget. The Koenig Private Foundation and Ann’s Circle work together to raise funds to further support the payroll budget. The Foundation also helps raise funds for capital projects. Ann’s Circle manages the many programs, events, classes, exhibits, and activities of Annmarie, as well as the membership program and the gift shop. For additional information about this successfull, fifteen-year, collaborative partnership, please contact Stacey Hann-Ruff, the director of Annmarie at director@annmariegarden.org.
Construction of the award-winning Arts Building, which opened in 2008, was funded by five main sources: the State of Maryland, the Calvert County Commissioners, Friends of Annmarie Garden, the Koenig Private Foundation, and Ann’s Circle, Inc.
History
In 1991, Francis and Ann M. Koenig donated this property to Calvert County with the intention that it be developed into a sculpture garden. Over the next decade, their dream took shape as six works of art were installed on the thirty acre property. These diverse pieces are fully integrated into the natural setting of the Garden and provide the opportunity to develop an appreciation for the seasonal changes inherent in outdoor art. In addition to the sculpture, the walking paths were created and the allies, or hallways, were cleared. The lovely allies allow visitors to look across Annmarie and have created areas for the installation of sculpture.
In 2003, Annmarie became a member of the Smithsonian Institution’s Affiliations Program. This program has allowed the Garden to borrow more than twenty-five pieces of sculpture form the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden. In 2008, the Arts Building and the Studio School opened, allowing Annmarie to dramatically expand its programs and activities.
