You are here: About > Oregon Regional Arts Councils
The Commission has nine Regional Arts Councils that provide statewide delivery of arts services and information. Regional Arts Councils, each serving one or more Oregon counties, provide the following core services throughout the region:
broad dissemination of arts information
support for artists and arts organizations
advocacy on behalf of the arts, serving as the "art voice" and functioning as the regional convenor, promote, and collaborator on behalf of the arts
promotion of arts education among adults and children
support of arts programming in public places
Regional Arts Councils also provide other services specific to the needs and resources of the communities in each region.
Regional Arts Councils are eligible through grant funding through the Commission's Operating Support, Arts Services and Arts in Education programs.
