About the Arts Council:
The Paris-Henry County Arts Council was created in 1967 to promote, encourage and stimulate the appreciation of and involvement in the arts. It's government consists of a 21-member working board with a three-year commitment that meets monthly. Funding for the council is provided by the city and county government, as well as private donations and grants. One goal of the Arts Council is the act as an identity and voice for the arts in the life of the community. Also, to partner with other groups who are active in the arts.
