A project to develop an Arts Council within North Grenville has been in the works for the past year. Steps are now being taken to ensure our area can join the vast network of Ontario Arts Councils to provide support and promote North Grenville’s rich and diverse cultural identity.

If you are active in any field of the arts or an interested stakeholder, this is your chance to facilitate the creation of a dynamic organization that would benefit all of us. Work is ongoing on this project as a result of the efforts of the Arts, Culture, and Heritage Advisory Community, as well as the North Grenville Municipal Council’s strong support and understanding of the place the arts hold in our municipality.

Public meetings will be held to implement the steps necessary to create an effective, helpful and informative Arts Council in our community. The steering committee is seeking potential members from all branches of the arts in North Grenville and local business members who value the arts and tourism opportunities.

If you have a passion for the arts and would like to participate in the creation of the council, its board and membership, please join us for an information session on Sunday, April 12th at 2:00 pm at the North Grenville Public Library. You can also visit our community booth at the Sustainability Fair on Sunday, April 26th from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.
