Special Events
Coffee Talk Conversation Series
The Coffee Talk Conversation Series is designed to be relaxed, informal and informative. Through the Coffee Talk Conversation Series, the Hannibal Arts Council will present community members speaking on various topics, including travel, history, health, food, well-being and yes, art. The series is designed on the premise that everyone has a story and a wide variety of interests and are sometimes willing to share that with an audience. Program partners include Wade Stables P.C. and the Missouri Arts Council.
Coffee Talk Conversation Series is FREE and open to the public!

Concert+Dance
Concert+Dance: The Hannibal Arts Council periodically hosts big band/jazz groups from the area. No events are planned at this time.
Bad Art by Good People Art Auction
2024 ART AUCTION - Thursday, April 25
6:00 p.m. - Social, Hors d’oeuvres
7:00 p.m. – Art Auction
Details/Tickets: Purchase Tickets Here!
Works of art created by area community leaders paired with artists/mentors will be auctioned off.
The Bad Art by Good People title is truly meant to be tongue in cheek, as the end-product of the community leader working with an artist/mentor will more than likely be good. Community leaders were matched with artists/mentors by drawing names out of a hat back in November. The Hannibal Arts Council is excited to connect community leaders and artists in a new way by implementing this new fundraising concept, which was modified from similar ones produced by arts organizations in Kansas and Ohio.
