The Hill Country Arts Foundation kicked off its 2026 Juried Show "Ethereal Echoes" on Friday, July 10, with an opening reception at the Duncan-McAshan Gallery.

This show was one of the HCAF's most prolific to date, with more than 100 entries.

In true juried show fashion, the judge first chose the pieces that would remain in the show, then she set to the task of picking a first-, second- and third-place winner and three honorable mentions.
