Summer Enrichment at Hilltop Artists
Make my gift to Hilltop Artists!
Summer is one of the most exciting seasons at Hilltop Artists. Our hot shops fill with creativity, collaboration, and connection as students from Hilltop Heritage Middle School, Silas High School, and beyond come together to learn and create through glass arts.
Whether it’s a student’s first day in the hot shop or their hundredth, every experience at Hilltop Artists helps build confidence, communication, and community.
Donate to the spring fundraiser!
This summer, students are taking part in incredible opportunities that showcase the power of our programs. Our production students and alumni recently collaborated with renowned artist Laura Donefer on a wearable glass fashion show for the Glass Art Society Conference in Corning, New York—an unforgettable opportunity for young artists to share their creativity on a world stage.
In August, Hilltop Artists will once again partner with the Museum of Glass for our annual residency, where students, alumni, and Teaching Artists create artwork in front of hundreds of visitors. It’s one of our favorite traditions and a powerful reminder that our programs are about much more than glass—they’re about connection.
We’ll also celebrate with our community during the Arts Night Out Block Party on Tuesday, August 4th, 2026 from 4–7 PM at Hilltop Heritage Middle School. More than 500 community members will join us for free art activities, games, glass demonstrations, food, music, and our returning Alumni Artists Market.
Your support makes these opportunities possible.
Every gift to Hilltop Artists helps young people discover their creativity, build meaningful relationships, and imagine brighter futures for themselves and their communities.
Yes, I want to make a donation!
