Hillsboro Arts League hosts Thursday event to announce Mural Artist and Mural Selection to be completed in 2025.

Hillsboro, Texas
On Thursday August 14th 2025, the Hillsboro Arts League invited the selection committee and artists to attend an announcement event at Bearded Wheat Distillery.

Over the past few months, committees and planning groups for the Arts League have been organizing artist submissions for the new mural, which will be located on the NW corner of the courthouse square, owned by Afresh Salon, and facing east (facing the courthouse).

Over 8 artists submitted their concept, and a lengthy grading criteria was sent to locals and league board members in the selection process to create “just the right mural” that fits the location and the tone of the desired mural.

Artist David Handy was selected, and the announcement serves as the Kick Off party for the new mural expected to be complete before year end.

Congratulations to David Handy, mural and tattoo artist, and congratulations to the Hillsboro Arts League on the progress towards bringing more art in downtown Hillsboro, Texas.
