unny skies and pleasant temperatures greeted twenty-five juried artists and dozens of community painters as they gathered in Historic Ellicott City July 10–12 to take part in Paint It! Ellicott City, the

Arts Council’s sixth annual plein air paint-out, presented in partnership with Howard County Tourism, the Historic Ellicott City Partnership, Howard County Public Schools, and Mat About You Gallery & Framing.

Artists set up their easels throughout the town, finding inspiration around every corner as they worked to capture Ellicott City’s many charms, from its cobblestoned side streets and steep hillsides to

its funky boutiques and historic buildings. Paint Down Main, a new quick draw competition presented by Mat About You Gallery & Framing and the Historic Ellicott City Partnership, featured 34 artists racing against the clock to complete a plein air painting in just two hours. At the conclusion of the competition, judges selected three award winners: 1st place: Maria Marino, 2nd place: Joanna Barnum, and 3rd place: Tara Will.

A reception at the Howard County Center for the Arts on July 13 marked the opening of the Paint It! exhibition of the juried artists’ work. Work from the Open Paint-Out was displayed in the Center’s lobby that evening then moved to Howard County Welcome Center for the re-mainder of the summer. The evening also featured the presentation of more than $6,000 in awards to the artists. Maryland First Lady Yumi Hogan and Monica Rutherford, wife of Lieutenant Governor Boyd Rutherford, were in attendance and assisted in the presentation of the awards. The top two prizes, the $1,000 Gino Awards, named in honor of Ellicott City artist Gino Manelli, were presented to Michael Bare and Alexander Wissel. For a complete list of Paint It! Ellicott City 2015 Award winners, visit hocoarts.org.

We’d like to thank all the Ellicott City businesses and the many volunteers that sup-ported the artists during Paint It!, the community members who came out to watch, and especially all the artists who participated. We hope to see you again next year! H

community arts festival, was a huge success! The hundreds of festival goers who gathered at Long Reach Village Center on Saturday, June 20th en-joyed fantastic live musical performances; artist demon-strations ranging from wa-tercolor to chainsaw carving; hands-on arts activities for kids and families including piñata-making and origami; indoor and outdoor art exhib-its; roving jugglers and stilt-walkers, and so much more!

At noon, County Execu-tive Allan Kittleman, Howard County Council Chair Mary Kay Sigaty, Council member

Calvin Ball, and other officials were on hand for the unveiling of the village center’s beautiful new mosaic mural Metamorphosis, created by community members under the direction of artist Susan Stockman.

It truly does ‘take a village’ to put on such a huge event! With that in mind, we’d like to thank everyone who helped make the day possible, including our ARTreach partners—Celebration Church, Columbia Association, Columbia Association Art Center, Columbia Festival of the Arts, Howard County, and Long Reach Community Association; all of the Howard County officials who attended; the many volunteers who worked diligently to ensure that ARTreach was a success; our wonderful musical performers and demonstrating artists; the Long Reach businesses who lent their support; and of course, everyone who came out to experience and enjoy the arts!
