The Mission of the Cherokee County Arts Council is to stimulate interest, awareness and appreciation for all forms of art in Cherokee County, North Carolina by promoting arts programming, increasing access to these programs and encouraging community members to participate in arts productions and events.

The Cherokee County Arts Council provides a forum in which county and Western North Carolina residents, artists, tourists and anyone interested in the arts in our area can find events, studios or galleries, other arts organizations and can participate actively in our vibrant community.  CCAC works with arts guilds and other arts organizations to provide free music, festivals, public beautification, other events and increased access to the arts within the public schools.
