The Artists Alliance of the Hill Country (AAHC) was founded three years ago by Mara Cardwell and Susan Manzello who had a common goal of bringing art awareness to their surroundings. Artists include writers, singers, poets, painters, print block makers, photographers, sculptors, jewelers and art supporters. This group of artists is now comprised of almost 80 members from surrounding counties who gather monthly to provide educational presentations, art demonstrations, studio visits, and instant gallery.
