HoCo Open is a non-juried biennial showcase for community artists. Visual artists, 18 years of age or older, who live, work, or study in Howard County, Maryland were invited to bring one piece of original artwork completed in the past two years to the exhibit drop-off on January 5. This year’s exhibit features 117 pieces of art in a variety of media, including painting, photography, drawing, sculpture, ceramics, and textiles.
