The HAAC provides the winning combination needed in Hollidaysburg: The council is dedicated to both providing quality experiences in the arts for our citizens, while at the same time supporting our local artists and arts professionals. Blair County is a better place because of the work of these public-service-oriented individuals. Thank you, HAAC!
