ARTsites

HCAC is excited to announce ARTsites, a new, year-long public art exhibit that will take place at up to 12 sites throughout Howard County. Sites and artwork have been selected from submissions by a panel of artists and public art professionals. The goal of ARTsites 2012 is to place sculpture throughout Howard County in order to generate interest in public art and make art more accessible to the community. The sculptures will serve as visual anchor points that will enhance and activate community spaces. Furthermore, the multi-site exhibit will serve as a visual celebration of HCAC’s 30 year history of fostering the arts and bringing the arts to community life!
