Today at Shumway


The Rockford Area Arts Council's mission is simple--to support, promote, and develop access to the arts for everyone. We are advocates for both individual artists and regional arts organizations—and you!

We believe in the transformative power of the arts and its ability to set the tone for a city's creative and cultural infrastructure. Join us, twice a month, for a regional update on all things music, art, performance, and culture! 

We will be the recovery!

RAAC's Facebook page hosts Spring ArtScene artists' work. When we receive encouraging, legitimate information that community events can safely resume, the Arts Council will promptly reschedule ArtScene at no cost to the artists/venues. Our rescheduled ArtScene will not include a printed brochure, however, we will provide on-line venue listings/links, access to the downtown trolley, and bolstered advertising on our social media outlets. We will do everything we can to make it a successful event for you and your businesses!

Resources:
Rockford's art organizations reunited after a hiatus of too long! The Rockford Area Arts Council responded to a need in our arts community for a shared platform; We created a Facebook Group, Rockford Area Arts Organizations.

Please add a representative of your organization to this group; we would like as many organizations to join as possible. Please use this private group respectfully, as a way to share information, develop relationships, post events, demonstrate support, make connections, and share relevant contacts. When you join, you will find most of our Arts Orgs partners already participating!

For the Public
Arts need your support more than ever!  Just click and like and donate and share our partner groups' FB pages and initiatives. We are all working hard planning for the time when we can entertain and WOW you again. Until then, purchase season tickets, register for a class, investigate lessons for you and/or your child, plan a trip to visit a museum--even virtually!
