| What Happens At The Arts Council Doesn't Stay At The Arts Council! |
That’s right, all the fun, the sights, the sounds, everything you see and do at the Arts Council goes with you.
While the memories that are created stay with you, something else happens. When you share with others what you have seen and heard, your experiences with visual and performing arts, music, literature and film there is a ripple effect that spreads across the community.
The Arts Council offers opportunities where children play, learn, and laugh. Where adults discover talents they never knew they had or enjoy the talents of others. Where anyone can try new things, see new things, and share new dreams.
Come inside our doors, experience the joy of art then take it with you and start some ripples! |
