There were so many smiling faces, and the event truly highlighted the power that sports have to bring people together.

Howard County Welcome Center Hosts Korean Art Pop-Up Museum
Visit Howard County in partnership with the HanGuk Art Center, will host a pop-up art museum in the Howard County Welcome Center located at 8267 Main Street in Ellicott Cityโs historic district.
The HanGuk Art Center pop-up museum features a collection of over 30 art pieces, including pottery, paintings, screens, artifacts, books, and more. The collection depicts Korean art and culture, some of which were displayed at the Korean Embassy in Washington D.C.
The collection was curated by Mi Schill Kim, a Korean art collector and owner-operator of the former Asian Art Collective gallery that was located on Main Street in Ellicott City for over twenty years. Kimโs vision is to bring Korean art and culture to all, and she has ambitions to expand the HanGuk Art Center and secure a permanent location.
In addition to the impressive collection, art and retail items are available for purchase. Proceeds will support the HanGuk Art Center and Howard County Welcome Center. Children are offered free activities, including Korean English-word translation coloring pages. Books on Korean art and culture are also available for loan at no charge.
The HanGuk Art Center pop-up museum is open now through February 2025.
On March 28th, the ribbon cutting welcomed guests including dignitaries from the Korean Embassy, members from local AAPI communities, elected officials, and others.

Find blissful tranquility at Howard County's parks, where you can enjoy the view of the water and fall foliage. ๐
Next time you're in Howard County, look around and recognize that we are all visitors in this beautiful natural landscape.
Long ago, before Howard County was the place it is today, the land mainly belonged to the Piscataway tribe of the Algonquins and Susquehannock tribe of the Iroqouis. Native Americans farmed and hunted here, until 1634, when colonists arrived on tribal lands and conflict arose.
Hostility against the natives continued until 1652 when the Susquehannock people agreed to a peace treaty and lost their land. In the 1900s, there were subsequent treaties to create a Piscataway reservation and protect the Native's rights to land, but those treaties did not last.
Despite the violence they faced, the Native people, their culture, and their way of life live on in Howard County.
๐ชถ Did you know? Every July, Howard County hosts the American Indian Pow-Wow at the Howard County Fairgrounds, where residents and visitors can meet Native Americans, learn about the significance of their singing and dancing, hear stories, and try Native American food.
