Every third Saturday of the month (weather permitting), we host free outdoor movie nights for the Boerne community at sunset. Grab a blanket, bring friends or family, and enjoy a curated film under the stars. These screenings are relaxed, fun, and perfect for a night out in the Hill Country.
Block Printing with Mary Ann Simmons
May 9, 2026 | 10AM-1PM
Have you ever admired the organic handmade look of a linocut print and wished you knew the steps involved for making your own designs? Well here is your opportunity to learn this fun and accessible art form. In this beginner level linocut class, participants will learn the basics for
creating an original linocut relief print. Participants will learn: how to design and transfer an image onto a linocut block; how to carve into the linoleum using handheld gouges; how to roll water-soluble ink onto the surface using a brayer; and finally, how to print the image by laying printing paper onto the block and applying pressure using a spoon or baren.
Hill Country Art & Wine Festival
A two-day celebration of art, wine, and community held each Memorial Day weekend at the Boerne Main Plaza.
May 22 & 23, 2026
