Registration for Spring Classes at the Howard County Arts Council Now Available

Registration has begun for Howard County Arts Council's (HCAC) spring educational programs at the Howard County Center for the Arts (HCCA) in Ellicott City. HCAC offers classes and workshops for ages five to adult. Spring art programs, open to the public, begin the week of April 8, 2013 and range from six to eight weeks in duration.

Classes include Saturday Art Studio and Discover 3-D for ages 5-12, and teen through adult class offerings including Intro to Drawing & Composition and Sumi-e Painting. Ongoing weekly drop-in sessions for drawing and painting from portrait and life models are also available.

This summer HCAC is offering a special three-day Paint It! Plein Air Workshop July 10-12 which will be held in conjunction with Paint It! Ellicott City, our annual plein air event. An instructor will guide attendees through the basics of painting outdoors. At the end of the weekend, attendees' work will be included in the Open Paint Artists exhibit at HCAC and at the Howard County Tourism Welcome Center.
