Arts Council of Southeast Missouri

Arts Council of Southeast Missouri The Arts Council of Southeast Missouri was founded in 1961 by metalsmith Otto F. Dingeldein, to encourage artistic awareness, participation, and expression.

Our mission is to provide a forum for residents and artists of the Southeast Missouri region to explore, experience, and share in the diversity and excitement of the visual, literary, performing, culinary, and healing arts.
