The 26th annual Columbia Festival of the Arts once again brings an impressive roster of performers to Howard County from June 14- 29.

All of them are booked by the festival in order to provide memorable artistic experiences for local audiences.

Patuxent Valley Middle School in Jessup held its first-ever Reading Night, to celebrate all things reading and the importance of the written word.

The Lyric Opera Baltimore production brings tenor Bryan Hymel back to town to play the role of the vile, lecherous Duke.

If there were a dress code for visitors to the current exhibit in Howard Community College's Rouse Company Foundation Gallery, it would stipulate that people must wear blue jeans when going to see Julie van Hemert's "Peopled Jeans." That's because the artist uses blue jean material for her wall-hanging fabric art.

Up-and-coming vocal artists will perform works by Rossini, Donizetti and Bellini at the Modell Performing Arts Center at the Lyric.

'Appalachian Spring' Baltimore School for the Arts performance is first time high school granted permission to produce ballet in original form.
