SILENT AUCTION
2011
at Howard County Arts Council’s
Celebration of the Arts in Howard County
Help the Howard County Arts Council celebrate its 30th year! As part of its continued commitment to
foster and support the arts, the Howard County Arts Council will hold its 14th annual Celebration of the
Arts in Howard County gala. We are seeking artists to take part in the Silent Auction Art Exhibit, an
essential part of the exciting Celebration of the Arts. The Celebration is not only an exciting showcase
for local artistic talent, it is one of the Arts Council’s major funding sources for arts programs. The Silent
Auction is an important part of the overall event, which also includes performances and a reception. Last
year’s Silent Auction was a great success with 85 pieces sold! We need your help to keep the arts alive in
Howard County. Please join us in making the 2010 Celebration and its Silent Auction Art Exhibit a spec-
tacular venue for the visual arts in Howard County!
