April 2023- March 2025, the FAC housed Artist Studios at 7 North Market Street as fully integrated space for artists to create, show their work, and build community.
Located in an early 20th-century bank, the FAC Artist Studios built on the richness of Frederick’s history in the very heart of downtown. It offered the best of elegant historic detail and modern conveniences — such as an elevator, new HVAC system, and LED lighting in the Studios — the opportunity demonstrated Frederick’s and FAC’s commitment to providing the best for local arts.
The FAC Artist Studios housed nearly 30 artists in creative spaces, and amenities such as a kitchenette and classroom. The communal spaces displayed the work of the Studio artists on a rotating basis, offering plenty to see and a diverse array of creativity to the Frederick community and our visitors alike.
The Frederick Arts Council invests in a vibrant and cohesive arts community for the people of Frederick County. The organization fosters an environment where the arts flourish in the community through grants and scholarships, arts advocacy, and links to essential resources. FAC is responsible for large-scale programming such as the Frederick Festival of the Arts, Sky Stage, Frederick Public Art Initiative, Art in the Park, and Arts in Education grants.
