Featured Event: Hip2BSquare Art Show |

Sequoia Gallery + Studios in downtown Hillsboro is showcasing its annual Hip2BSquare art show through the month of October. This popular and unique show features art that’s created or displayed on 12”x12” panels. Each year, students are given the opportunity to obtain a free panel for their works of art. Great job to all of the students who participated, and congratulations to those who received awards, including Liberty High School’s Bella Zia who took first place in the Student 2D category; and Tori Zenger and Kendra Anderson who took first and second place, respectively, in the Student 3D category. The show will be up through Oct. 29; gallery hours are noon to 4 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.
