Welcome to the Adams County Arts Council's Web Site!

Incorporated in 1993, the Adams County Arts Council has evolved from a small group of optimistic organizers into a 500-member nonprofit agency supporting artistic efforts throughout the county’s schools and communities.  The Council's mission is to cultivate an arts-rich community.  Its primary goals are to provide arts opportunities for students of all ages and to support the work of local arts presenters and artists. 

Below are upcoming events which we feel will be of particular interest to arts lovers, families in the greater Adams-Hanover area, and visitors.
