The WCAC seeks to provide passionate leadership for the creation of a vibrant arts community in Warren County by supporting and promoting the visual and performing arts and artists.

 The arts are the collective contributions of musicians, singers, painters, actors, dancers, sculptors, weavers, writers and other creative people.  Their contributions provide both creative and economic value to the community.

Founded in 2002, the Warren County Arts Council (WCAC) began and remains today a  grass-roots organization. It is sustained by the hard work and dedication of people willing to volunteer their time and talent to promoting the arts.

 

Our objectives are to …

· Play a pivotal role in the growth and development of the arts county-wide

· Support the arts in all its forms for all communities and citizens

· Promote the development, coordination and growth of existing and potential arts initiatives

      To bring about our objectives, we will

· Nurture relationships and partnerships with arts organizations as well as businesses, local government, and educational entities

· Collaborate with regional cultural groups

· Provide leadership and assistance to communities for the expansion of existing arts events, programs and facilities, and the creation of new ones

· Present the community’s diverse cultural and artistic talents for the benefit of Warren County residents, the greater regional population and visitors

· Inspire the development and expression of art through scholarships, grants, events, and programs
