FREE – A Collecting Affair!
Celebrating the Art of Collecting

Howard Community College Rouse Company Foundation
Gallery & the Columbia Art Center’s Galleries

June 12 – 28

Collecting art is a profound and joyful experience of self expression available to anyone — the only requirement is an openness to recognizing the voice within you that says, “I love that piece!” For “A Collecting Affair,” we asked local art collectors to choose their favorite works for an exhibition that spans two gallery spaces. Their insights on collecting, the artists’
backgrounds, and other examples of each artist’s work will be included. The receptions will feature speakers and a chance to meet the artists and collectors personally.

“Meet the Artists & Collectors” Champagne/Dessert Receptions
Thursday, June 19, 5:30 – 9:00 p.m.

Before it can be collected, it has to be created! Begin your evening by meeting local artists in their studios at the Howard County Center for the Arts. Who knows, you just might leave with the first piece for your collection.
