Our Mission
The Johnston County Arts Council provides quality opportunities in the arts for every Johnston County resident.
Our Goals and Objectives
As a service to the 136,000 residents of Johnston County, the Arts Council:
  • Funds arts programs and projects throughout the county
  • Improves the quality of education for over 29,000 students in our schools through the Artistis-in-the-Schools program
  • Promotes local artists and arts activities available to the public
  • Provides key resources like the local artist database, community arts calendar and Arts Council website
  • Serves as a key resource in making Johnston County a great place to live, work and raise a family
    The Johnston County Arts Council (code # 3615) is part of the State Employees Combined Campaign (SECC). If you are or someone you know is a State Employee, give to JCAC through the SECC!
