HAL's 2nd Annual Golf Classic
Saturday, March 10, turned out to be a great day for a golf tournament. Though rain was threatened, the intermittent gray clouds only served to provide shade and a cool breeze. Seventy-two players teed off at Pinecrest for a morning of golf, and supported Highlands Art League while they played. The field was about evenly split between men and women, and though there were high hopes, no one captured the $2000 Hole in One prize sponsored by Cohan Radio Group.
The Smithsonian is Coming to Sebring
Each of us has a powerful journey story deep in our personal heritage. It may be a story of a family uprooting itself in order to stay together, or of sons and daughters moving to another land, or of a distant ancestor. Americans have always been mobile.
Art on the Waterfront 2012
Island-style dining & music combine with artist demos and a live auction of beach get-aways, watersports equipment, original art and more at Highlands Art League’s spring fundraiser Art on the Waterfront, to be held the evening of Saturday, April 21.
Last year’s event raised nearly $20,000 to support the programs and services of HAL with over 100 attendees enjoying the Key West atmosphere that featured an outdoor buffet, mojitos, margaritas and more against the backdrop of a Lake Jackson sunset. Tickets are $35 in advance, call 863-385-6682 to reserve.

Second Annual White Elephant Sale
Highlands Art League and the Yellow House Gallery & Gift Shop had a wildly successful White Elephant Sale on Saturday, March 3, with nearly $1600 raised to support the programs and services of HAL and the Yellow House. This huge effort was coordinated by Rose Besch and took many many of our members and volunteers to carry out. Donations were collected for weeks ahead of time and a marathon pricing frenzy took place the day before the sale.
The Village Where Art Lives
Located on the shores of Lake Jackson in downtown Sebring, Florida, The Village consists of three historic buildings with rich Sebring History. Restoration of these buildings began in 2002, with two complete and one still underway. The Village is a hive of artistic activity and an asset to the community of art and culture in Highlands County.
