Arts and culture in Bucks County are critical to our lives and our local economy, and are a crucial part of our history and future. The mission of the Arts & Cultural Council of Bucks County is to foster, strengthen and promote Bucks County’s diverse arts and culture, thereby contributing to a more vibrant community. In 1974 the Bucks County Council on the Arts became the focal point for support of the arts in the county. According to Brian H. Peterson in "The Genius Belt, The Story of the Arts in Bucks County," the BCCA sponsored exhibitions and programs, published a newsletter, and developed an archive on more than 1500 artists. In 1985, the Council was absorbed by the establishment of the James A. Michener Art Museum in Doylestown. With that great success as a backdrop, we are working to re-establish The Arts and Cultural Council of Bucks County (the Council) to lead the next stage of development and to forge alliances with arts and cultural organizations in all parts of the county. Today, the Arts & Cultural Council of Bucks County is a 501(c)3, nonprofit corporation governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. Support for the work of the Arts & Cultural Council of Bucks County has been received from our membership and other individuals as well as these corporations, foundations and agencies of government:
