Public Sculptures and Sites Selected for ARTsites 2014

Howard County Arts Council (HCAC) is pleased to announce the 12 sites and sculptures selected for ARTsites 2014, its third annual public art initiative in Howard County, MD. The sculptures will be installed in May 2014 and will remain in place until July 2015.                                                                             

About ARTsites:

ARTsites 2014 is a year-long outdoor public art exhibit that will take place at 12 sites throughout Howard County. The goal of ARTsites 2014 is to place sculpture throughout Howard County in order to engage the community and enhance public spaces. The sculptures will create visual anchor points and increase community access to the arts. The multi-site exhibit will also serve as a visual celebration of HCAC’s more than 30 year history of fostering the arts and bringing the arts to community life.
