1st Annual Arts Across Harford Gallery Crawl

The 1st Annual Arts Across Harford Gallery Crawl will take place on Sunday, September 17, from 12 noon to 8 PM. The result of a collaboration between Harford Community College and the Havre de Grace Arts Collective, the crawl will provide a fun, guided tour experience between Bel Air and Havre de Grace, highlighting both areas as magnets for the arts within Harford County.

There will be two ways to experience the gallery crawl. Participants may purchase a ticket for a bus tour, or they may choose to take part in a free self-guided tour. 

Participants who choose the bus tour may park their cars for free at Harford Community College (401 Thomas Run Road, Bel Air, MD), check out artwork and the Art + Design amenities at Joppa Hall on campus, and then board the bus for a guided tour throughout the featured stops. The bus will return to the College in the evening for a reception at the Chesapeake Gallery. Food and beverages will be included for ticketed attendees at key stops throughout the day to add to the experience. Bus tour tickets are $75 and may be purchased here. 

The bus tour itinerary is as follows:

12 - 1 PM - Check In & Lunch @ Harford’s Joppa Hall (art building).
