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.

Your contributions make all of these possible!

SAVE THE DATE- YOU ARE INVITED!

We are excited to once again invite you to join the Hastings Prescott Area Arts Council for our 9th Annual HPAAC Fundraising Gala!

We want to keep our community safe, so we will be coming to you virtually on Sunday, September 26th. Happy Hour will begin at 5:30 p.m. followed by the main event at 6 p.m.

With your support, HPAAC will continue to foster the arts in our communities. HPAAC sponsors scholarships for students to participate in art and music lessons, supports community organizations like the River Valley Band, Tuesday Coffee Concerts at the Hastings Arts Center, and plenty more. We look forward to sharing these highlights and performances at the gala. We also have some exciting news for the future of HPAAC that we cannot wait to share!

A big thanks to our current sponsors: the Doffing Foundation, Scott and Jackie Northard, Mike Harriage, Kathy O’Keefe, Sarah & Travis Lockwood.

Please join members of the community in promoting the arts in Hastings and Prescott by attending HPAAC’s first virtual gala on Sunday, September 27, 2020 at 6 p.m.

The Gala will honor the 2020 Art Heroes, who through their tireless efforts have promoted the arts in their respective communities – Dick Graham of Hastings and Carolyn Campfield and John Huth of Prescott. Even though, we won’t be able to spend time (in-person) with them this year, they will be “present” during the virtual gala.

The HPAAC Friends Along the River gala couldn’t be possible without the financial support from our community.

THANK YOU for supporting HPAAC and all the many programs we can provide!

THANK YOU to our Confluence Sponsor – Ruth and George Doffing Charitable Fund; our River Valley Sponsor – Xcel Energy; our; our Mississippi Sponsors – Merchants Bank, Bronwyn Skov, Jackie & Scott Northard; and our many individual sponsors.

Funds raised during the online auction will support Summer Arts Programs for Kids, scholarships and student fees for children and adults who otherwise would not be able to participate in arts programs. Funding will also provide to students studying piano, violin, guitar, and participants in the award- winning Hastings High School Show Choir. It is the hope of HPAAC that the number of people served in 2021 will be doubled through the raising funds at the 2020 Gala.
