Many ways to help the arts on ‘Giving Tuesday’

CELEBRATING THE ARTS PAULA HORNER HCCARTS

Tuesday, November 28, is Giving Tuesday. Around the world, people will come together on this global day of giving and citizen engagement to support communities and causes focused on building a stronger future.

Support our community artists and artisans -- painters, sculptors, musicians, performing artists, poets and writers and songwriters. Purchase original artworks, theatre and concert tickets, art classes or supplies, and the gift of a favorite book read this year; all make wonderful Christmas presents.

Encourage family and friends to invest in The Arts in all its manifestations to make an impact right here in Texas Hill Country.

Your contributions on “Giving Tuesday” support the mission of the Hill Country Council for the Arts (HCCArts) -- to enhance community awareness, develop opportunities for involvement, encourage individual and corporate financial support, and develop a long-range plan for promoting growth of The Arts within the City of Boerne, Kendall County, and the 19 counties of Texas Hill Country.
