Welcome

Under the leadership of the Arts Council, the arts have flourished in Howard County. Today, public funding is at an all-time high; local artists have affordable meeting, studio, and performing spaces; and our community enthusiastically supports local artists and arts organizations by attending performances, festivals, exhibitions and special events.

The Arts Council is located at the Howard County Center for the Arts, a 27,000 square foot multi-disciplinary art center in Ellicott City. The Center for the Arts is a barrier-free facility. Both the Arts Council and the Center for the Arts are committed to non-discrimination in the administration of their programs.
