About ACBV
Fostering a True Community for the Arts since 1970!
The Arts Council of Brazos Valley, a non-profit organization chartered in 1970 by a group of visionary local arts patrons, was established to lead local arts advocacy and cultivate a vibrant arts community. Over 50 years later, the Arts Council now serves the 5,000 square mile Brazos Valley region. Since 2008, it has provided over $4,000,000 in direct funding support to arts organizations throughout the area.
Governed by a board of community leaders, the Arts Council faithfully serves as the leading advocate for arts and culture in Brazos, Burleson, Grimes, Leon, Madison, Robertson, and Washington counties. It provides innovative and impactful artistic opportunities for both residents and visitors of the region.
Our Mission
For over 50 years, the Arts Council has been dedicated to one mission: making the arts accessible for all residents and visitors of the Brazos Valley. Through funding, promotion, advocacy, professional development, and partnership programs, we support over 45 affiliate arts, culture, and heritage organizations, regional artists, and creative businesses. Our reach extends to over 350,000 residents across seven counties, including Texas A&M University and Blinn College, and over 3.5 million annual visitors to the Brazos Valley.
Strengthening an arts and culture–friendly community
The Arts Council Board of Directors is focused on providing innovative leadership in the arts by maintaining and strengthening an arts and culture–friendly community and making the quality of life in the Brazos Valley the best that the state has to offer.
