The Garrett Arts Passport Program
What Is The Garrett Arts Passport?
The Garrett Arts Passport is a program by the Garrett County Arts Council. Pick up a “Passport Booklet” full of different locations throughout Garrett County, collect stamps, and then present the full book to get an embroidered patch!
By attending various local arts & cultural events across the county throughout the year, you can collect artist designed stamps on each page of your booklet.
After September 1st, present your booklet at The Gallery Shop in the Oakland A&E District to receive an artist-designed easy iron-on commemorative patch!
This year’s patch was designed by local artist Emily Elmlinger of Oakland. Every year, a new artist will be hired to create the patch, so you will want to collect them all!
Artist Designed Embroidered Patch
If you have collected stamps on multiple pages in your Passport Booklet by September 1st, bring your booklet to The Gallery Shop in Oakland or The Gallery Shop, Too in Grantsville. Staff will present you with your iron-on embroidered patch for 2023-2024.
This year’s patch was designed by Emily Elmlinger of Oakland, MD.
