“As a non-profit organization, we are so grateful for the support of our community as we cannot exist without our visitors, members, donors, sponsors, students, and those who purchase tickets to events and performances.” Did you know that taking a class, attending a performance, becoming a member, sponsor, or donor, helps the Carroll County Arts Council to make a direct impact on the lives of students, artists, and schools right here at home?
Whatever it is you love about the arts, the Arts Council programs all encourage positive, joyful, shared experiences, because as Stephen believes, “Art helps us to learn, grow and to engage with each other. Connect, inspire, create. This is our Arts Council, let’s make something meaningful together!”
