General Information
The Worcester County Arts Council is a non-profit organization, funded in part through grants from the Maryland State Arts Council, the Worcester County Commissioners and contributions from our membership of approximately 500.
In 2007 FY, over $20,000 was awarded for musical, performing and/or visual art events through the WCAC Community Arts Development Grant program. Seven $1000 art scholarships were awarded to graduating seniors and one college freshman.
Five exhibits at the Arts Council Gallery in Berlin included pottery, paintings, blown glass, baskets and mixed media, by artists from throughout the Eastern Shore.
"The practice of art isn't to make a living. It's to make your soul grow."
- Kurt Vonnegut |
Art is an essential part of life. The release and enjoyment art provides enriches not only the life of the artist, but the lives of those who come in contact with his creation.
A community without art not only lacks entertainment, but also spirit; for art is the gateway to the soul.
We at the Worcester County Arts Council believe that communities benefit from art.
Our purpose and goal at the Council is to enrich the lives of those in our community by promoting and encouraging the arts.
