Welcome to the website of the Arkansas Arts Council, an agency of the Department of Arkansas Heritage . This site will provide you with information on the programs and services offered by the Council. The Arkansas Arts Council was created by an act of the Arkansas State Legislature in 1971, following federal legislation which created the National Foundation of the Arts and Humanities in 1965. Seventeen members appointed by the governor meet four times a year to oversee state arts policies.
Meetings are open to the public.
