Founded in 1987, Blue Ridge Arts Council, Inc. is a 501 (C) 3 designated non-profit arts and education organization that primarily serves residents of Front Royal/Warren County. Our programs provide Arts Education, Art Exhibits and Community Partnerships like our Gazebo Gatherings Summer Music Series, which offers a variety of art experiences and entertainment. For a majority of the local community, Blue Ridge Arts Council is the only arts resource. The Arts Council has a staff and a community based board that research, plan, implement and review each program offered by the Council. Funding for our work is received, in part, from Virginia Commission for the Arts- a statewide organization that awards crucial operating support funds, and a matching grant program that our local governments partner in. The balance of the budget is funded through memberships, individual and corporate donations.
