They opened Columbia's first art gallery and studio called, "Eye of the Camel" in the 1970s. The Art Gala will feature works by both artists from the collections of Harper's Choice residents and will kickoff with a champagne reception and
hors d'oeuvres. It will be held at Kahler Hall, one of Howard County's most popular venues. To loan art for the event, contact Steve Ingley by July 15th @ 410-730-0770 or
