Entries Accepted Beginning November 1
It’s time to apply for our popular non-juried exhibit, HoCo Open 2022, open to artists (aged 18 years and older) who live, work, or study in Howard County. Eligible artists are invited to submit one piece of ready-to-hang original artwork completed in the past two years for inclusion in the exhibit. Please note that due to the need for social distancing, there is a change in how artists will submit their work this year. In lieu of a one-day drop-off, entries will be accepted online beginning November 1st on a first-come basis, one entry per artist, until 100 submissions have been received, or until December 13 at 5pm, whichever comes first. Accepted artists will be provided with instructions for scheduling a specific day and time to drop off their artwork at the Center for the Arts.
A highlight of HoCo Open 2022 will be the presentation of the $500 Covington Emerging Artist Award, established by local gallery owner Robin Holliday to recognize and support an emerging artist at a pivotal time in their career.
