Martin County Arts Council

Who We Are

     The Martin County Arts Council was formed in 1975 by a group of local citizens with a love and appreciation for the arts. Our mission is: "To enrich the quality of life for the citizens of Martin County through education, cultivation, and preservation of the arts."

    We have continued to operate as a volunteer organization that is guided by a Board of Directors. Many of the board members assume the roles of staff. Over the years, the Martin County Arts Council has provided numerous programs and services for the local community. We have worked with the state and Martin Community College to sponsor visiting artists to the county. An artist in residence program was established, which led to the creation of the Martin Community Players, our community theater group.

    The Martin County Arts Council continues to increase its programs and services. After renovation of the Flat Iron Building for a cultural arts center, we plan to offer instructional workshops, small theater productions, arts classes, studio display space, craft classes, small musical concerts, festivals and a variety of other services to benefit the lives of our local citizens.
