About the Fairmount Arts Council

Building The community through the arts…it’s how the Fairmount Arts Council is making this city a better place. The Arts Council supports public arts and the working artists in Fairmount through a variety of programs and services. It also works to broaden and diversify arts audiences through such efforts as our twice yearly Arts Crawl.

The Arts Council serves as Fairmount's chief arts resource, not only for artists and arts organizations, but also for businesses, educational institutions, neighborhood and community organizations, visitors and residents.

Mission:

The Fairmount Arts Council formally began in August of 2005 to foster and enrich the community and its history through support and development of public arts, arts education and artists’ advocacy.

• To develop and increase the market for the arts.
• To facilitate and convene partnerships and collaborations in the arts.
