Why Donate to the Cultural Council?

We make art happen. We partner with schools to bring arts education to thousands of students throughout the county, award grants that support more than half of all local arts events, create venues for local artists to exhibit their work, fortify the core of the arts by offering professional development opportunities and developing collaborations that build on collective strengths, and advocate for the arts at the local, state, and national level.

The heart of our support comes from people like you who believe in the power of the arts to enrich lives. You are a passionate appreciator, an inspired participant and committed to the artists and organizations who spark the creative flame in you.

With you as a partner, we fulfill our mission to lead and advance the arts by providing funding, advocacy and support to artists and arts organizations. 

When you invest in the Cultural Council, you make art happen.
