Hilltop Artists: Using glass art to connect young people from diverse cultural and economic backgrounds to better futures. File Photo.
The award-winning Hilltop Artists are holding their 6th annual fundraising Luncheon, “All Fired up,” Wednesday, October 18, at Hotel Murano in Tacoma.
Attendees will hear directly from students, families and community members about the impact of Hilltop Artists' award-winning glass arts programs and outreach work. They will also be able to participate in a silent auction and share a meal with others who are invested in transforming the futures of our youth.
While it’s too late to register for the event, it is never too late to learn more about this program, who declares on their web page, “We use alternative experiential arts learning in two dedicated hot shops to create powerful change and long term outcomes in the lives of our youth and their families. Through our programs, partnerships and youth advocacy, Hilltop Artists is an acknowledged force in reducing truancy and recidivism, encouraging academic success, and increasing graduation rates.”
