Art Maryland 2016 is the twentieth multi-media statewide juried exhibit sponsored by the Howard County Arts Council and is a premier juried showcase for artists in the region. The exhibit began in 1984 as Maryland’s Best, an annual show running through 1989 and open to all Maryland artists. In 1990, when the show became a biennial, its name was changed to Art Maryland. In 2000, it was expanded to include Delaware and Southeastern Pennsylvania in addition to Maryland, Virginia, and Washington D.C.
