Friends wanted something lasting from that designation and formed

The Maryland Millennium Legacy Trail Arts Committee.

With grants from National Endowment of the Arts, The Maryland State Arts Council, TKF Foundation and Maryland Department of Transportation, Friends put out a call for artists and selected three artists to create sculptures for the trails.

Colonial Maritime Trail in Annapolis: 

-Artist   Jacquin Smolens

Come to Annapolis and visit the Art on the Trails adjacent to the Chesapeake Children's Museum.  You'll be able to see, and interact with a sea monster, a terrapin, a boat and you might even catch a glimpse of an osprey flying in the trees overhead.

The majority of Mr. Smolens work has been outdoor sculpture in wood. Mr. Smolens has worked in many locations in a five state area. In some municipal projects Mr. Smolens has recycled trees to take advantage of the local materials.
Mr. Smolens large scale wood sculptures are ideal for public display. Many of the designs used have come from the discovery of unique tree shapes.
Mr. Smolens has been a sculpture for more than 40 years.

B&A Trail in Glen Burnie:

-Artist- Mary Ann E. Mears

Located on the trail in Glen Burnie.

Ms. Mears experience includes small and very large scale projects, interior and exterior sites, and free-standing, wall mounted and suspended installations. Her work has been fabricated in metal and in some work metal with other materials.
Ms. Mears has worked with a wide range of sites from public urban settings to natural environments. In much of her work forms are abstracted from images that have significance for the specific site.
The expressive qualities in her work respond to ideas and feelings contributed by the people who are part of the community.

BWI Trail in Andover:

-Artist- James Vose

Located on the BWI Trail in Andover, near the Andover Equestrian Center. Propel is a work that must be seen. Take a ride on the BWI Trail to see this stainless sculpture adjacent to the trail just behind the Andover Equestrian Center.  Stop and walk around to enjoy the sculpture.

This sculpture proposal extends Mr. Vose's current body of work regarding unknown mechanisms that seem to be part mechanical and part animal. Jim Vose has frequently used references to farm or earth moving equipment in his body of work. This site seems a perfect fit with this theme.
Like many people who spend their life building things, Jim Vose's time spent working with his hands has developed into a past-time of investigating tools and machinery. "Trying to deduce what something was used for and how it works is a natural tendency for many" says Vose.  "Understanding an object’s purpose can alter the way it is viewed".
