The San Marcos Art League is hosting its annual Food Drive for the Hays County Food Bank and, with the help of several local artists, will be donating the proceeds from a variety of artwork purchases this holiday season. This year, local artists have joined the Art League in donating different works in order to raise money for the Hays County Food Bank through the San Marcos Art Center in Downtown San Marcos. A portion of the proceeds will be donated from any purchase of a glass Christmas tree, ornament on the Art League tree inside the Art Center or any works marked as part of the fundraiser.
