Benton County Arts

promoting creative connection in Benton County, MO

The Benton County Arts Council exists to encourage and promote the arts and artists in Benton County, Missouri, by establishing partnerships to support, advocate, educate, preserve, improve, inspire, and enjoy the richness of positive creative expression in our community.

Benton County Arts began in Feb. 2019 as a Facebook group of local creatives sharing their work, networking, and encouraging one another in their endeavors as makers.

We represent every genre from fine art to fiber art, arts education, photography, performance arts, restoration and repurposing, and so much more.

We are in the process of forming a non-profit organization that will promote the arts in our area through partnership with county tourism, education, and local businesses.

We look forward to the community's support in making this goal a reality. The arts are important, and we have a treasure trove of talent to develop and share!

What's new?

ARTs COUNCIL Membership - coming soon!

Just a few more steps to finish up filing the necessary paperwork to become a 501(c)3 non-profit organization! Our board has been working hard to prepare for memberships and programs that will be a benefit to our county. We would love to have you join us when we are official. There will be opportunities to join us as Creative, Patron, and Corporate members very soon, and we will be planning regular get-togethers, classes, and events. If you are interested in more information, please contact Dina Kowal, Nicole Garrett, or Shelley Zimmerman. We look forward to serving our community with various programs, classes, and networking opportunities.
