Welcome to the Asheville Area Arts Council website! The Asheville Area Arts Council is one of the oldest arts councils in the country. Formed from a working committee of the Junior League, the Civic Arts Council (CAC) was incorporated in 1952. Staffed by volunteers, the CAC kept files and held meetings in the facilities of member organizations. As a member organization, it created an annual ball, the Beaux Arts, to celebrate the volunteers of local agencies.

Every contribution helps support the local arts community!

The Asheville Area Arts Council is pleased to annouce a wonderful new tool for the promotion of art and culture in Western North Carolina.
