About the Arts Council of the Brazos Valley
The Arts Council of the Brazos Valley is a non-profit organization that was chartered in 1970 by a group of visionary local arts patrons. Their purpose was to establish a leadership role in organizing local arts advocacy efforts and foster a true community for the arts. Over 50 years later, the Arts Council has grown to serve the 5,000-square-mile Brazos Valley region. Since 2008, it has provided over $4,000,000 in direct funding support to arts organizations throughout the Brazos Valley.
For 50 years, the Arts Council has served the community with one driving mission: to make the arts accessible to all residents and visitors of the Brazos Valley through funding, promotion, advocacy, professional development, and partnership-building programs. We are a multifaceted arts organization supporting over 60 affiliate arts, culture, and heritage organizations, regional artists and creative businesses, over 350,000 residents in seven counties, Texas A&M University, Blinn College, and over 3.5 million Brazos Valley regional visitors annually.
