This spring, invest in young artists’
futures at Hilltop Artists

True community works in concentric, connected circles—each action of care and protection ripples outward, strengthening the bonds between us.

At Hilltop Artists, we believe in the transformative power of art and mentorship. Our programs do more than teach glassmaking; they create spaces of safety, expression, and belonging. By building partnerships and relationships rooted in collective care, we provide a foundation for young people to feel seen, valued, and empowered.

We work with students from all walks of life—students who have fled war and instability, who fear deportation, who identify as trans or nonbinary, who have been unfairly targeted because of their race, who have experienced homelessness or the juvenile justice system.

I know that you stand with them, that you believe in their potential, and that you want to uplift them.

Make my gift in support of Hilltop Artists

When upheaval becomes the norm and when the support systems we rely on grow unsteady, we must meet that moment with courage and resolve. We commit ourselves to uplifting and protecting the young people in our community because our hot shops are more than a place to shape glass—they are a place to shape futures.

At Hilltop Artists our students find focus in chaos, build resilience through artistry, and learn respect and empathy from dedicated mentors. In a world where division and intolerance persist, these lessons are invaluable. Creating together fosters connection and builds strength.

Supporting Hilltop Artists is an act of courage and hope. It is a statement that you believe in a future where art, empathy, and community overcome fear and division. It’s right there in our mission: “connecting young people to better futures.”

But we cannot do this work alone. We need you to meet this moment with us.

Your ongoing support means:

• More students find their voice and their courage through glass art.
• More young people learn respect, empathy, and resilience.
• More opportunities to create a future where creativity and connection triumph over adversity.

Your sustaining gift today will help us continue this vital work tomorrow and beyond. Thank you for standing with us and with our students. Together, we can ensure that their voices are heard, their creative expression is celebrated, and their futures are bright.

Yes, I want to support Hilltop Artists this spring!

With gratitude,
Louise Cooper. Development Director
