Set on 23 acres along the Potomac River, just across from Washington, D.C., the MGM National Harbor Resort and Casino is a destination where regional identity and refined design converge. Every space — from grand public areas to private suites — is curated with artwork that pays homage to the cultural and historical landscape of the capital region.

‍

Anchoring the guest experience is a commanding work of art behind the reception desk: a 49' x 52' map of the Washington tri-state area, crafted entirely from the soil beneath the very foundation of the resort. More than a focal point, this piece is a tribute to the land — a tactile connection to place, memory, and meaning. It reflects our belief in the poetry of materials, the elegance of restraint, and the harmony between art and environment.

‍

This is craft elevated to cartography — precise, grounded, and unforgettable.

The client’s directive was to create a comprehensive art program that would celebrate the identity of Prince George’s County and the greater Maryland region by working exclusively with local artists. A key component of the brief was the integration of the local arts ecosystem, which included close collaboration with county arts commissions and cultural institutions to identify and engage artists who authentically represent the area’s history, voice, and creative energy.

‍

The intention was not only to source artwork from local talent, but to build a program that would elevate the community’s artistic legacy through site-specific commissions, public installations, and curated moments throughout the hotel and casino — blending fine art, craft, and storytelling into the guest experience.

‍

The resulting collection needed to feel authentic, powerful, and place-specific — highlighting diverse perspectives and craftsmanship while aligning with MGM’s high-end hospitality and visual standards.
