The Howard County Arts Council (HCAC) is pleased to announce the 12 sites and sculptures selected for ARTsites 2017, an annual public art initiative in Howard County, MD. The sculptures will be installed in August 2017 and will remain in place until July 2018.

About ARTsites:

ARTsites 2017 is a year-long outdoor public art exhibit that will take place at 12 sites throughout Howard County. The goal of ARTsites 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.

ARTsites Panel:

The ARTsites panel selected the host sites and narrowed down the artwork submissions to 36 finalists. The individual sites then selected the work to be installed at their location from among those finalists. The panel consisted of Randy Clay, Howard County Planning & Zoning; Julie Hughes-Jenkins, HCAC Board Member; Mary Kay Sigaty, Howard County Council; and Coleen West, HCAC.
