School’s back, and you need art. Hillsborough Community College has a solution.

The school’s “Silent Hawktion” is exactly what you thought. “It’s a silent auction with a hawk pun,” organizers wrote, adding the bids start at $25 and cap out at $500.

Mocktails are on tap along with sweet treats, plus a preview of Gallery221’s first 2024-25 exhibition, “Flourishing Dichotomies,” a cross-college showing which features work from the Vickers Collection on loan from the University of Florida.
