Hillsborough Arts Council

Hac brought back the popular house concert series this year. This was a ticketed event hosted at a local historic home in downtown hillsborough. The goal of the house concerts is to provide a musical performance experience in an intimate environment where patrons can learn more about the musicians and gain an appreciation for their artistry. Patrons enjoyed refreshments and getting to know fellow community members. The house concert also provided an opportunity to showcase new performers and advocate for paid artist opportunities.
