September 16th, 2025

The public is invited to attend the 2025 “Art Teacher as Artist” Exhibition Open House from 4:30-5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 1 in the main hallway of the Howard County Department of Education (10910 Clarksville Pike, Ellicott City). The exhibition features 150 works by 60 Visual Arts educators from schools across the district. Please note that members of the public may not enter the building to view the exhibit outside of the Open House.

The exhibition celebrates visual arts educators who engage in art making alongside teaching. It recognizes that these teachers experience both the challenges and rewards of the creative process, building empathy for what their students work through daily. The exhibition also honors these teachers as models of authenticity and persistence, who demonstrate that art is not just a subject to study but a lifelong practice of expression, communication, exploration, and meaning-making.

All showcase attendees must enter through the front door and sign in at the security desk. Please bring a photo I.D.
