2020 Sculpture in the Hills
Cancelled
Please continue to check back for updates on the 2021 Show!

As our nation fights the COVID-19 outbreak, the Hill City Arts Council is doing its part to “flatten the curve.” We have been closely following the recommendations of our government leaders and the CDC. With this in mind, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Sculpture in the Hills Show and Sale. We believe the most important thing is to keep our artists and community safe. We will be using this time to plan next year’s show; be on the lookout for updates and exciting new additions!
We have been deeply moved by your support in this difficult time. Stay safe, stay healthy, and we will see you in 2021!
