The Third Week of January 

Howard County Arts Council Cultural Arts Showcase

Each year, the Arts Council hosts the Cultural Arts Showcase.  The Showcase provides opportunities for PTA Cultural Arts representatives, Recreation & Parks representatives, and other cultural arts presenters to preview performances by local and national performing artists through an audition-style format. Participants can also meet with visual and literary artists about additional workshops and residencies.

Save the Date! The 20th Annual Cultural Arts Showcase will be held March 4 & 5, 2010 at the Howard County Center for the Arts.

reflections arts program

This year, many Howard County PTAs participated in the National PTAs Reflections Arts program.   Entries came to the county-wide competition from the local unit.  Winners from each category and age division in literature, visual arts, photography, music, dance, and film/video have gone on to the state PTA competition.  The first place winner of the state competition will continue onto the National PTA competition. 

The Howard County Reflections Awards night will be March 16 at River Hill High School.
