Columbus Arts Council

Columbus Arts Council The Columbus Arts Council was organized in 1965 and incorporated in 1971 with a mission to "present, promote and support the arts and arts education.

Columbus Arts Council supports and promotes individual creativity, cultural preservation, and lifelong learning through the arts, both locally & throughout the region. Our primary service is in Columbus and Lowndes County but our programs draw people from all over Northeast Mississippi and Northwest Alabama. Since 1997, our home has been the Rosenzweig Arts Center (RAC) in the heart of downtown Co

lumbus. The RAC features a sales and exhibit gallery, classroom space, theater space and meeting rooms. Services include re-granting to local art organizations as well as promotion and ticketing services for other local art groups. Our programs include the Summer Arts Camp, Suzuki Strings, the Writers Guild, Spoken Word, Concert and Artist Series, free monthly gallery shows, performances in the Omnova Theater, and Art Underground classes. Our major sources of funding are grants from the Mississippi Arts Commission, The Mississippi Humanities Council, City of Columbus, Lowndes County and the Gildea Foundation. However, we would not be able to exist without local corporate sponsorships and private individuals through the purchase of memberships, event tickets, class tuition, building rentals and gallery sales. Any time you pay for a ticket, give a donation, or become a member, that money goes towards more programming and support of arts and arts education. We are a non-profit organization that is here in our community to promote the arts.
