Troy Arts Council
The Arts for All
Our Mission to Enrich Troy Through the Arts
Founded in 1972, the Troy Arts Council is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting cultural arts in Troy and the surrounding communities. As both a cultural and educational organization, our mission is to aid, encourage, advise, coordinate, and sponsor activities that enrich the artistic life of our region.
We serve as a vital resource for students, educators, and the broader community—providing access to performances, exhibitions, and educational opportunities that celebrate the visual and performing arts. Through our programming, we work to integrate the arts into the everyday life of our community and to support the next generation of artists, teachers, and arts enthusiasts.
