The annual Celebration of the Arts is held at the Horowitz Visual & Performing Arts Center at Howard Community College on a Saturday evening in the fall.
The event kicks off at 6pm with a two-hour reception where guests will have the opportunity to bid on artwork from the Celebration 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 in the Smith and Studio Theatres where they will enjoy the Rising Star Performing Arts Competition and the presentation of the Howie Awards. Up to 10 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.
Celebration of the Arts 2025 will be held on Saturday, October 25, 6-10pm at the Horowitz Visual & Performing Arts Center, Howard Community College.
