Benefit for the Hilltown Arts Alliance and Hilltown CDC

Hilltown Arts Alliance and Hilltown Community Development will host a “Fall for the Arts” Fundraiser on Saturday, October 12 at 6:30PM at the Velvet Restaurant at the Worthington Golf Course, 113 Ridge Road, Worthington.  The event will feature a silent art auction, live music entertainment, art trivia, a seasonal buffet dinner and a cash bar.  Tickets cost $30 each and may be purchased online at www.hilltownartsalliance.org by October 5.

The silent auction will feature works by talented local Hilltown artists.  Donations and funds raised through the auction will go to benefit the Hilltown Arts Alliance and Hilltown Community Development. Through an exciting strategic partnership formed in 2018, members of the Hilltown Arts Alliance have benefited from business classes, new exhibit opportunities, and greater exposure via joint marketing initiatives.  Additional funding will help the two organizations expand and enhance the annual Hilltown Open Studio Tour in 2020, develop the local creative economy, create additional place-making opportunities and promote local cultural district formation work.

For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.hilltownartsalliance.org.  Tickets must be purchased in advance and will not be available at the door.  A preview of some of the work featured in the silent action can also be found on the Hilltown Arts Alliance website.  In addition to the silent art auction, attendees will get information on a state program where they can receive tax benefits for donations of $1,000 or more to a local Community Development agency.  To learn more visit  www.hilltowncdc.org/donate.  If you have any questions or need assistance with tickets or registration, please contact Kate Bavelock at kateb@hilltowncdc.org or call 413-296-4536 x 116
