HCAC is excited to announce ARTsites, a new, year-long public art exhibit at 12 sites throughout Howard County. Sites and artwork were selected from submissions by a panel of artists and public art professionals. The goal of ARTsites 2012 is to place sculpture throughout Howard County in order to generate interest in public art and make art more accessible to the community. The sculptures serve as visual anchor points that enhance and activate community spaces. Furthermore, the multi-site exhibit serves as a visual celebration of HCAC’s 30 year history of fostering the arts and bringing the arts to community life!
All the sculptures are now installed! Use this site guide to plan your visit to all twelve sculptures:
