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.
