The 2026 Celebration of the Arts will take place on October 26, 2026, at the Horowitz Visual and Performing Arts Center at Howard Community College in Columbia. The evening will feature food from local restaurants, performances by emerging artists competing for a $5,000 prize, and a silent auction benefiting the Howard County Arts Council.
Several of our gallery artists will be contributing artwork to the auction, with proceeds supporting HCAC’s grants programs.
Diane Dunn is donating her collage, Clearing at Cricket Creek II.
Nishita Jain is donating her watercolor, Rising Tide.
