In the HAC Gallery
In addition work from 70+ local artists, HAC's Gallery & Gift Shop exhibits art work from emerging and historically unrepresented local artists through its Gallery program. The Gallery & Gift Shop hosts pop-up events, demonstrations, receptions, and artist talks during Last Fridays & the Art Walk and beyond. Read on to learn about the exhibition currently in the HAC Gallery.
Art is for Everyone:
Self-Portrait
Every year, the Hillsborough Arts Council (HAC) invites local artists of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels to submit work for a community gallery show celebrating the inclusivity of art. Whether you're an emerging artist or a seasoned creator, this show is open to all!
This year's theme is Self-Portrait, a visual representation an artist makes of themself. Every artist is different, so every self-portrait is different. Style, medium, and especially subject matter all vary depending on the creator and how they see themself.
41 artists total applied for the show, ranging from 9 to 80 years old!
Here's a preview of what's on display:
