COMING SOON!
Harford Immersive ARtscape
Experience Art Beyond the Gallery
Harford Immersive ARtscape is an innovative arts and cultural tourism initiative that brings regional artists and their work to life through augmented reality (AR).
​
Led by the Havre de Grace Arts Collective, in collaboration with Harmer's Town Art Center and the Northeastern Maryland Technology Council (NMTC), this initiative combines art, technology, and tourism to create engaging new opportunities for artists, businesses, residents, and visitors throughout Harford County.
​
By transforming everyday spaces into immersive digital galleries, ARtscape makes art more accessible, expands opportunities for creative expression, and introduces visitors to the exceptional artistic talent within our region.
Explore. Create. Connect.
DISCOVER ART
IN A NEW WAY
Harford Immersive ARtscape uses augmented reality technology to create virtual pop-up art galleries at participating locations throughout Harford County. Using a compatible smartphone or mobile device, visitors can explore curated collections of artwork displayed digitally within real-world environments.
No traditional gallery walls required!
These innovative experiences allow visitors to:
-
Discover Local Artists: Explore original artwork created by talented regional artists.
-
Experience Art Differently: Engage with virtual exhibitions through an immersive, technology-enhanced experience.
-
Explore Harford County: Discover art in unexpected locations, from hotels and cultural attractions to community destinations.
-
Connect with Artists: Learn about participating artists and discover opportunities to explore or purchase their work.
Whether you're a lifelong art enthusiast or simply curious about emerging technology, ARtscape offers a fresh perspective on how and where art can be experienced.
Harford Immersive ARtscape is built on collaboration.
We welcome partnerships with hotels, tourism destinations, cultural organizations, businesses, educational institutions, and community partners interested in bringing innovative arts experiences to their locations.
​
Because AR galleries are experienced digitally, they offer an exciting alternative to traditional physical installations while creating opportunities to:
-
Enhance visitor and guest experiences.
-
Promote regional artists and creative businesses.
-
Increase awareness of local arts and cultural destinations.
-
Encourage cultural tourism and exploration throughout Harford County.
-
Support the intersection of arts, education, and emerging technology.

ARTIST
DEVELOPMENT
Harford Immersive ARtscape is about more than showcasing artwork. It's also about investing in the artists who make our creative community thrive.
​
Through our Art of Business: Artist Professional Development Series, we are bringing together experienced professionals, creative entrepreneurs, educators, and industry leaders to help regional artists develop the practical skills needed to advance their careers.
​
Each workshop will emphasizes hands-on learning and actionable outcomes, with the goal of ensuring participants leave with a completed resource, tool, or strategy they can immediately put to work.
