Shape the Future of Arts and Culture in Howard County: Arts & Cultural Plan Launch Join us at the official kick-off and press announcement of the Howard County Arts & Culture Plan on Thursday, January 23 from 11-11:30am in Monteabaro Hall at the Horowitz Center, Howard Community College.
Howard County’s previous comprehensive arts and cultural plan was last updated in 2003 and over the past 20 years, the county has grown substantially and experienced significant shifts in population and demographics, changing the demands for arts and culture experiences along with the needs of artists and arts organizations. Over the next two years, the Arts Council will work with a 31-person steering committee made up of local community leaders and Designing Local, a firm that specializes in arts and culture planning to capture a shared vision for the future role of arts and culture in our community.
The new Howard County Arts & Culture Plan aims to inventory existing arts and culture assets in the county, identify strategies to grow and engage creative resources, guide future investments in the sector, and address the changing needs of the diverse local arts and culture communities. The plan also seeks to ensure the sustainability of the creative sector and promote economic and community development through the arts.
The HoCo Arts & Culture Plan Kick-Off & Press Announcement will take place at 11am, with a performance beginning at 10:45am to welcome community members into the space. The event will include remarks from local public officials, project leadership, and a project introduction by the consultant team.
We are excited to build on the strong foundation that has been built in Howard County as we bring a community vision for arts and culture to life. Please join us to learn more about the planning process and how you can make your voice heard.
