You should go support your local budding artists.

The students of Hilltop Artists have created glass objects based on the archaeological relics of a lost tribe of their own creation.

We're curious if the Tempest Haggarty tribe will be represented.

Wait. According to hype, "Each tribe has chosen its unique spirit animal and has created work reflecting the tribe's connection to nature, the cultural significance of food, the sacredness of water, and the values shared by all. The individual tribes have also created a petro glyph illustrating the mythos of their origin."

Very cool. And creative.

Lost Tribes of Hilltop exhibit will run through May 24. Check out the world of the Raven, Wolf, Cheetah, Snake, and Iguana tribes. There's no better way to support the fine arts and the fine artists - you know, those 12- to 20-year-olds who keep getting their funding cut? Plus, who knows, you may see someone's art, who could be world famous tomorrow. Then you can say you saw them when, and annoy absolutely every one you know in the process.
