Howard County Launches Arts for All Public Art Program

Howard County Executive Calvin Ball has unveiled the county’s inaugural permanent public art program, Arts for All. Developed in collaboration with the Arts Council, Arts for All aims to transform community spaces and county facilities with vibrant, permanent art installations.  

The Arts for All initiative marks a significant milestone for the county, emphasizing the pivotal role of public art in placemaking. “We believe that public art is not just about beautifying spaces but also about creating meaningful connections within our community,” said County Executive Calvin Ball. “Arts for All will showcase the incredible talent of our local artists and provide residents with unique opportunities for engagement and reflection.” 

To ensure that the Arts for All program resonates with the community, we developed a survey to collect input from county residents about what themes, types of art, and potential installation sites they would like included in the program. Open throughout the summer of 2024, the survey aims to gather diverse perspectives and insights from residents of all backgrounds. Residents are encouraged to take part in the three-minute survey to contribute their ideas and preferences.  

For those interested in learning more about Arts for All or participating in the survey, further details can be found here.
