Don’t miss the best night of the year! The 27th annual Celebration of the Arts in Howard County will be held on Saturday, November 2, 2024, from 6-10 pm at the Horowitz Visual and Performing Arts Center at Howard Community College (HCC) in Columbia. Tonya Aikens, President and CEO of the Howard County Library System, will act as Honorary Chair for the evening. Terry N. Eberhardt will serve as Event Emcee. The evening kicks off at 6pm with a 2-hour reception where guests will have the opportunity to bid on artwork from the Art Auction, indulge in the delicious creations of some of Howard County’s best culinary artists, and buy raffle tickets for their chance to win one of the Celebration baskets. At 8pm, guests will take their seats to enjoy the Rising Star Performing Arts Competition and the presentation of the Howie Awards. Nine talented, local finalists will vie for the audience vote for the $5,000 cash prize. In between dazzling performances, the Howie Awards will applaud the significant contributions of this year’s honorees who create, teach, and support the arts in our community. At the end of the evening, our audience’s choice for this year’s Rising Star will be announced!
