Members Matter

The Coles County Arts Council is a not for profit, all volunteer organization now in its 40th year of supporting and providing arts education, performances and programs to the people of our rural, central Illinois community. We offer scholarships, support film and literary festivals, host writing groups and workshops, provide grants to local theatre and music groups, organize art exhibitions and invite young children to express themselves at free public art events. We believe that art makes a difference because it opens eyes, minds and hearts. We also believe that it should be shared with everyone in our community. It’s our mission to help make that happen!

CCAC’s Community Grant Program supports local festivals, exhibitions, workshops and performances that enrich the cultural life of Coles County. Our scholarship programs in music, dance, literary and visual arts help talented local youth attend summer arts programs. We work for you!

Have you taken an art workshop that opened up new possibilities? Do you sing with the East Central Chorale or reflect with Past Forward Memoir Writers?  Did you revel in a local theater production by Cisco or Theater in the Park? Perhaps you've enjoyed our community microgrant soup suppers at Tarble or become interested in an ArtsCAN project? We’ve been busy! And we’d like to do more, but we need your help! Please join CCAC today – because Members Matter!
