Dear Current and Future Artist Council Members,
The Art Center is currently working closely with state and local governments on our plan to safely re-open our doors. We have been working furiously behind the scenes to ensure that we will be ready, once we get the green light to welcome you back into our galleries. We are also working on new and exciting programming with special emphasis on making this the best year for the Artist Council yet! Stay tuned to our future announcements here and through our weekly newsletters. We cannot wait to see all of you again! Any Artist Council Memberships purchased online at this time will be processed once we return. Thank you for your continued support.

Artist Spotlight

The good news is that you are busy people out there. HBAC artists, like most of us, are learning how to find community online while following state and local guidelines. Students and life long learners are joining the digital revolution, creating ad-hoc studios, learning Zoom, and getting connected to each other online. And we love it.
Each week we turn the Artist Spotlight on HBAC instructors and Artist Council members to see what they are up to while practicing their own social distancing.
