The Howard County Arts Council (HoCo Arts) enriches and uplifts our communities by advancing the arts, artists, and arts organizations for the benefit of all.

To support our mission and goals, we sponsor a wide variety of arts initiatives that nurture and strengthen the arts. We award grants and scholarships, provide advancement opportunities for artists and arts organizations, create an environment for open expression and exchange, encourage people — young and old alike — to discover their own artistic talents, and act as the primary voice and advocate for the Howard County arts community. Additionally, we provide a home for the arts at the Capitoline Center in Ellicott City.
