CELEBRATING THE ARTS
Start the New Year off right by connecting with Boerne’s Creative Community. Studies suggest that creativity is good for you, whether you engage in hands-on activities, exercise your senses to enjoy a concert, visit an art gallery or museum, or simply submerge yourself in a Hill Country festival.
Creative activities can reduce stress and anxiety. Creative activities can boost your mood, increasing positive emotions leading to life satisfaction and increased energy. Creative activities can build healthy resilience, nurturing curiosity and persistence.
Creative activities can provide a stronger sense of self-awareness — a powerful means of self-care that benefits whole body wellness.
Hill Country Council for the Arts, now celebrating its 25th year, recommends to long-time residents, as well as proffering an invitation to newcomers, the following list of arts resources in our community.
HCCArts, now celebrating its 25th year, recommends to long-time residents, as well as proffering an invitation to newcomers, the following list of arts resources in our community. HCCArts serves as an umbrella organization to arts organizations and events across Hill Country.
This list encompasses our closest collaborations — where we sometimes assisted in creating something greater than either of our organizations could have individually. Including contact information, the list is definitely worthy of affixing to the fridge with a magnet.
