Blossoms 2025 Countywide Art Show
Blossoms of Hope’s Countywide Art Show is blossoming in a gallery near you! From now until the end of March, visit all 14 participating locations throughout Howard County to experience the blossoms before they bloom. Prepare to view more than 500 stunning pieces of art in our open and private galleries.
For detailed location information, see below.
Artists have created and will display art based on the theme of pink and white blossoms in a county-wide art show held throughout Howard County during March 2025. The art community including private art galleries in Howard County are already on board for this art extravaganza and many other locations including Johns Hopkins Howard County Medical Center, Savage Mill Mall, The Collective Encore and Offshore, 50+ Centers, and Howard Community College, just to name a few, will also be involved. Maps are available for the public highlighting all art locations and installations.
This inaugural art project embodies two of our tagline missions: beautifying and engaging our community. Currently, Blossoms of Hope has planted more than 3,100 pink blossoming trees in Howard County (Kwanzan cherry, redbuds and Native Dogwood). We are actively working on adding 600 more by the spring of 2025 (Blossoms' 20th anniversary). That number equals the number of white cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin in Washington, D.C.
** Catalogs are for the open shows only.
