columbus county arts council

The mission of the Columbus County Arts Council is to promote and increase public awareness, knowledge, and appreciation of the arts in Columbus County.  We provide exposure for local artists, whether visual, literary, or performing arts.  Since 1976, we have served both individuals and organizations by presenting their work or by providing funding for exhibitions, performances, festivals, and workshops.  Our goal is to showcase the diverse talents within our community and create opportunities for artists to thrive. Through our programs and events, we aim to inspire creativity, celebrate cultural diversity, and foster a vibrant arts scene.  Our facility in Whiteville, North Carolina is open on a regular basis and we always have visual art on the walls and books by local authors on display.
