ELLICOTT CITY, MD – Artists wishing to be considered for an exhibit in 2027-2028 in the Howard County Arts Council (HoCo Arts) galleries are invited to submit a general exhibit application. The HoCo Arts Exhibits Committee meets quarterly to review applications and select artists for the exhibit space. Artists, ages 18 and older, working in all media and styles including time-based and installation artists, are encouraged to apply either individually or as a group. Individual artists selected for a show will be paired or grouped with other artists as determined by the committee. The Committee also welcomes proposals from curators and organizations.
For detailed entry guidelines, visit https://hocoarts.submittable.com/submit/or email exhibits@hocoarts.org. The next deadline for submissions is October 1, 2025.
The Howard County Arts Council is moving to the former circuit courthouse in Historic Ellicott City this fall. The Arts Council’s new home will feature brand new galleries with over 1930 square feet of exhibit space. The HoCo Arts gallery program was established to enhance the public’s appreciation of the visual arts, provide a venue to exhibit the work of local, regional, and national artists in a professional space, and provide leadership in the arts by presenting a broad spectrum of arts in all media from both emerging and established artists.
HoCo Arts presents 11-12 exhibits per year of national, regional, and local artists, including two-person, small and large group, juried, curated, and community shows.
Current gallery hours are Monday through Friday 10am-8pm, Saturday 10am-4pm, and Sunday 12-4pm. For the most up-to-date information on holiday and weather-related closures, or to learn more about HoCo Arts programs and exhibits, call (410) 313-2787 or visit hocoarts.org.
