Deadline: August 31, 2012
The Howard County Center for the Arts is seeking proposals
from artists for Art Maryland 2012, a biennial multi-media juried
exhibit. The juror for Art Maryland 2012 is my good bud Philippa Hughes, Founder and
Chief Contrarian of The Pink Line Project. A minimum of $1,000 will be
awarded by the juror. The exhibit will be on view from October 26 –
December 14, 2012 with a reception and remarks by Ms. Hughes on October
26 from 6-8pm.
Entry is open to all artists 18 years or older, residing in Maryland or within a 100-mile radius of Ellicott City, MD. Artists may submit digital images of up to three works completed in the last two years and not exhibited previously in the HCCA galleries. All work must fit through a standard doorway measuring 54” x 80” and fit appropriately in the HCCA galleries. The Center’s two galleries total over 2000 square feet, with 9 ½ foot high walls, professional track lighting and hardwood floors. There is a $25 Art Maryland entry fee. The fee is waived for current Howard County Arts Council members.
Art Maryland 2012 is the eighteenth multi-media statewide juried exhibit sponsored by the Howard County Arts Council. The exhibit began in 1984 as Maryland’s Best, an annual show running through 1989 and open to all Maryland artists. In 1990, when the show became a biennial, its name was changed to Art Maryland. Since the Baltimore Museum of Art ended its Maryland biennial exhibits in the early 1990s, Art Maryland has been a premier juried showcase for artists in the region. In 2000, Art Maryland expanded to include Delaware and Southeastern Pennsylvania in addition to Maryland, Virginia, and Washington D.C.
