Thank You for Supporting the
2025 Hilltop Artists Better Futures Luncheon
We’re so grateful to those of you who were with us at the 2025 Better Futures Luncheon to celebrate our students and the strength of this community. For decades, Hilltop Artists has provided young people with a safe, creative space to grow, heal, and imagine new possibilities. Your support helps ensure that this work continues.
If you missed it, you can now watch our Residency video on YouTube to experience more of the magic our students create in the hot shop. (Thanks to the team at Mural Studios for helping us put together such a stellar video!)
