About
Howard County Executive Calvin Ball has launched a new Public Art program in partnership with the Howard County Arts Council. This program, called Arts for All, will enhance the county's cultural landscape by commissioning permanent public art installations at county facilities and community spaces, reflecting the creative talent and vision of the Howard County community.
In his FY25 Operating Budget, Ball made an investment $1.5 million to fund up to four public art installations at various county locations over the next several years.
Public Art Survey
Through the Arts for All program, County Executive Ball and the Arts Council launched a public survey to engage residents in selecting themes, types, and locations for the public art displays. This survey opened on May 16, 2024 and closed on September 13, 2024.
