At the Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC), we connect artists, creatives, and arts and culture organizations to opportunity and access.
For decades, RACC has aimed to serve every neighborhood of our region to ensure that arts and culture are accessible to all. Our nationally acclaimed public art program enlivens parks, community centers, government buildings, libraries and health clinics; brings people and communities together; and makes our region a more vibrant and welcoming place to be. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we work to elevate the voices and visibility of individual artists, creative organizations and arts nonprofits – especially those that serve underrepresented communities – amplifying their impact through grants, professional development and other vital resources. Through strategic partnerships, our team works to build coalitions and lead new initiatives, crafting a shared vision for an equitable future for arts and culture in our region.
In February 2025, our team and board adopted a Bridge Strategic Plan. Learn about our objectives and strategies for supporting our mission here.
Our mission is to enrich our communities through arts and culture.
