Ashe County Arts Council exists to enrich the cultural life of the region by nurturing and supporting the arts.

The Arts Council offers leadership, collaboration & growth through the arts. The ACAC operates two facilities in Ashe County. A historic WPA building, the Ashe Arts Center, in downtown West Jefferson, houses the offices for the Arts Council, The Gallery, & Gallery Shop. The Ashe Civic Center, a 282 seat theatre space, also serves as the home of the Ashe County Little Theatre. These 2 facilities offer numerous options for arts programming.  In addition to offering year-round art experiences in these spaces, Ashe County Arts Council offers programming at other sites such as the public school systems, the Ashe Park, the West Jefferson Farmers Market, and other community spaces.

As a non-profit organization the ACAC operates with a Board of Directors reflective of Ashe County’s population. The ACAC is unusual in that we are not a membership based organization, but feel philosophically that everyone is a part of the Council.
