The Howard County Arts Council (HCAC) is pleased to commemorate Youth Art Month with its annual spring exhibit of student artwork in Gallery I at the Howard County Center for the Arts. Presented through an ongoing partnership between the Arts Council and the Howard County Public School System, this year’s exhibit is titled Re-Imagining Boundaries: Persevering in the Time of Covid and features dozens of works by HCPSS students in secondary grades 6-12, selected from public school art classes throughout the county. Students used digital media to create artwork inspired by the title theme.

In Gallery II, in partnership with Howard County Recreation and Parks’ Department of Therapeutic Recreation and Inclusion Services, the exhibit No Boundaries showcases photography by youth and adult artists with developmental disabilities. The work was created in the Exploring Art and Focus on Art programs offered by the Department of Therapeutic Recreation and Inclusion Services. In these programs, youth and adults with developmental disabilities have the opportunity to explore a variety of media, styles, and methods of creating art.

Both exhibits will be on display from March 13 to April 10, with a free virtual reception on Wednesday, March 17 from 5-7 pm. In order to accommodate patrons who are unable to visit the galleries in person, both exhibits will also be available to view online at hocoarts.org.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, gallery hours have been reduced and are subject to change. Please check the website at hocoarts.org for current gallery hours and to ensure the Center is open before visiting. All visitors to the Center for the Arts are expected to observe posted COVID-19 safety protocols. For more information, visit hocoarts.org/covid19.
