Mission Statement:
“Our mission is to cultivate, nurture, and grow the arts in our community by supporting local artists.”
How We Became an Arts Council: As we approach 2025, the tenth anniversary of the Crossroads Arts Council (CAC) provides a meaningful opportunity to reflect on how even the smallest creative ideas have rippled outward, shaping both our organization and the lives of those we impact. In 2014, a casual coffee meetup among friends sparked a simple idea that gradually took shape. Over time, this idea crystallized into a vision: the creation of a collaborative effort involving motivated citizens, artists, and local government. – Diane Ransom, founding member of CAC.

Community Involvement – During our first 7 years as an arts council, we did not have a gallery space. This situation entrenched us into our community as we collaborated on events. We now have a strong history of community involvement. Some of our events still continue and others had served its purpose as our community grew. Please view our current and past events:
