HPAAC is an all-volunteer organization created in 2008 to promote the growth in the Arts and Culture in the Hastings and Prescott area. Your support allows us to help the many artists, musicians, writers, actors, filmmakers, and others in our community who do so much to enrich our lives. We learned during COVID just how important the Arts are to all of us. We’ve seen many examples of how everyday folks and professional artists alike need to express themselves to others to combat loneliness and depression. Art nurtures the spirit and calms the mind.
We are proud to support many arts related causes in the Hastings -Prescott area. Some examples include art and music Scholarships for students, Tuesday Coffee Concerts, Black Dirt Theatre, Sod House Theatre, Lumin Theatre Lab, Summer SPARK Program, Orange Dragon Art Gallery, Railway Art Gallery, River Valley Band, Building Remembrance for Reconciliation, The Longer Table, Seussical the Musical, Third Coast Percussion Residency, Dallas Brass Band Residency, Maria Bournaki Residency, the Hmong “Seeds for Change” Art Exhibit, and Annual Local Arts Heroes recognitions.
