The Allegan Area Arts Council’s mission is to initiate and stimulate interest and participation in the arts for the Allegan area.
To achieve that mission, the AAAC will establish and promote an organization that:
- grows membership in Allegan County reaching out to artists and patrons in surrounding communities.
- attracts a larger audience by expanding our instructional venues and events with more emphasis on music, drama and literature.
- will involve members more in our committees, volunteer opportunities and events.
- developes procedures for smooth transitions for board members, committees, volunteers and event management.
- provides more opportunities for member artists to sell their work and instruct others.
- improves and expands our scholarship program.
- encourages more public art in the community.
- negotiates with existing facilities in the Allegan area for the use of clean, safe, ADA accessible and properly insured structures to be used by the volunteer network of artists, teachers, individuals, businesses and organizations in promoting the arts.
- generates operational funds through donations, fund raising activities and grants to insure the financial stability of the AAAC.
The task of insuring the continued success of this organization, made possible by the hard work and dedication of so many, is a challenge we gladly accept.
