About Us:
Hastings and Prescott have been neighbors along the river for nearly 200 years! For nearly a decade, we have gathered annually to celebrate our shared commitment to advancing the arts in our communities.
Since our beginning in 2008, the Hastings Prescott Area Arts Council (HPAAC) has been dedicated to providing more opportunities for the arts and humanities to thrive through three main impact areas: Funding Scholarships, Developing Local Partnerships, and Advancing Arts Programming.
It is through your support of HPAAC and participation in the Friends Along the River Gala that these efforts continue. Thank you for joining us!
Auction items can be picked up beginning the following day (September 27) at 121 Tyler Street, Suite 110A (ARTSPACE Building), Hastings, Minnesota. Pickup hours will be 10AM-2PM Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
