The Business and Arts Committee of the Hill Country Council for the Arts was created to showcase businesses that creatively work with the arts for mutual benefit. You will regularly meet and hear from regional, state, and national business leaders who have a passion for the arts and their business; and have experienced the economic and cultural benefits in support of the arts.

Artists and business people often speak a different language. HCCArts desires to create an enjoyable, collaborative environment where both artists and business leaders can share their experiences and expertise together.

These quarterly luncheons will help inspire and educate businesses and artisans on the objectives and benefits of successful collaborative programs sponsored by small, medium, and large corporations and organizations. These events will also serve our community to stimulate collaboration, empower , and expand the business community, corporate culture, and artisans through awareness, education, connection, leadership.
