A salon-style, non-juried exhibit showcasing Howard County artists
HoCo Open takes place annually, opening in December. 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. Entries will be accepted online beginning early November on a first-come basis, one entry per artist, until 100 submissions have been received. 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.
HoCo Open applications will open November 2025.
