The Mission of the Arts Council is to increase
awareness and accessibility of the arts in southwestern Indiana

Annual Membership

The Arts Council depends upon the generosity of its members. Corporate Membership is open to any business that supports the Arts Council's important work in the community. Individual Membership is for those who love the arts but who are not artists themselves. Artist Membership is for any literary, performing, or visual artist, from beginner to professional. Cultural Organization Membership is for nonprofit organizations that are involved in arts or cultural activities. To join, please send a request for a membership brochure to Shannon Hurt .
