The Hilltop Arts Society was formed to help educate high school students on the importance of the arts in society. The Hilltop Arts Society is a local non-profit based in Elkmont, AL. The purpose of the organization is to bring arts and music into the community as a means of restoring and revitalizing the community. Its main focus is the students of Elkmont High School since Limestone County does not provide arts education to high school students. We are currently looking for support from the community to put on our arts festival on November 7, 2015.
The festival not only is a rich arts experience for the community, booth fees go towards a scholarship for a student going into the arts career field. This is the third year of the Hilltop Arts Festival. In its first year, the festival drew nearly 2,000 people into the Elkmont area to view the arts and crafts of local artists.
We would like to thank you in advance for your consideration in participating n this event. We could not have this success we have had before without the community’s support. Please email the festival at
There will be exhibitors ranging from woodworking to blacksmithing to photography and fine art to go along with music all day at last year’s festival. For more information please visit the Hilltop Arts Society main page or email us at hilltop.arts@yahoo.com. Deadline: Oct 15
